2022 CAWS VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING
Wednesday, March 9, 2022

We truly apologize for the inability to host our Annual Meeting in person this year. We were truly hoping to make this an in-person event. We miss the companionship shared at these gatherings!  To support a smaller level of togetherness, we will be holding an in-person field trip in May/June with limited attendance (25 participants).  This will be a tour of Stratford Point’s Living Shorelines led by Dr. Jennifer Mattei with guided birdwatching led by Anthony Zemba.

This year's event will be free to all 2022 CAWS members. A nominal fee of $5 will be charged for non-members. Join CAWS today (or renew your dues for 2022) and attend for free! Learn more about CAWS membership.
