Our Mission
To promote the wise use and care of natural resources for the benefit of the citizens of Lexington County
Highlights
Things have been a little hectic as we have tried to manage our in-school programs while also working towards hiring a new Education Program Assistant. Newsletters and FB posts fell by the wayside as we tried to handle everything and we want to thank everyone for their patience during this time.
Join us for our October Backyard Benefits partnership event hosted by Lexington Storm Water & Lexington Solid Waste Management! Every event starts off with refreshments and a lesson that covers three topics: storm water, rain barrels and a special topic. After the lesson attendees go outside to assemble the rain barrels.
​
October's special topic is COMPOSTING.
When: October 5, 2024
9am - 12pm
​
Where: Public Works,
440 Ball Park Road
Lexington, SC 29072
Why: Because it's fun!
