Brewster Conservation Day to be held Saturday

BREWSTER —  The Brewster Ponds Coalition invites children to watch what happens when the toilet flushes with an interactive presentation called “The BIG FLUSH.”

“Boldly go where no one has gone before,” said Karen-Malkus Benjamin, president of the Brewster Ponds Coalition. “If you've ever wondered what happens to the water and materials that go down the drain — this is your chance to follow the route that wastewater travels by crawling through a model septic system ... from toilet to leach field ... and beyond!”

 Experienced pond testers also will be on hand to demonstrate pond testing gear and show how you can participate in this water quality testing program. 

The exhibit will be one of 40 exhibits at Brewster Conservation Day, to be held from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Drummer Boy Park, Route 6A and the Stony Brook Grist Mill.
