Improving Higher Education
Lt. Governor Brown Celebrates Earth Day by Opening a New Environmental Education Center
Learning Facility is Part of $153 Million Restoration of Contaminated Baltimore Waterfront
Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown, along with community leaders and area elected officials, officially opened the Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center. The center is part of a $153 million restoration project that is transforming one of Baltimore Harbor’s most contaminated sites into an area that will benefit wildlife, local residents and the port industry.
Citizens and students from local schools will be the key groups taking advantage of the environmental education center. The Living Classrooms Foundation and the National Aquarium in Baltimore will be developing and running the education programs for the center.
