(Sherburne, NY – Feb. 2016) Do you have water features – such as lakes, ponds, and pools – on your property? Are you curious about changes that will take place in these types of features during March, April, May and beyond?

Join Friends of Rogers and guest presenter Robert Benton at 10 a.m. on Feb. 27 for a conversation on local water features, as well as living organisms in and around them. The program will be held in the Visitor Center on state Route 80 in Sherburne; those needing to may use the adjacent parking lot, and the center is accessible.

“We are very excited that Bob is facilitating this program,” said Simon Solomon, Friends of Rogers executive director. “He will provide unparalleled insight and guidance on maximizing the positive impact of water features.”

This presentation is made possible thanks to the generosity of Evergreene Graphics in Greene.

“We are extremely grateful to Evergreene Graphics for partnering with us,” said Simon Solomon, FOR executive director. “Since 2011, when Friends of Rogers saved Rogers Environmental Education Center from closing, we have relied on the generosity of local businesses like Evergreene Graphics to support community activities, allowing this vital resource to be preserved – and to flourish.”

While there is no charge, Friends of Rogers encourages contributions to support future operations. Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers educational programs for people of all ages. Seasonal hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
