An Evening of Celebration

Join the Wicomico Environmental Trust for a shared meal with great company, and a celebration of the people working every day to protect the places we love.

Whether you’ve been involved with WET for decades or are just discovering our work, we hope you can join us!

The evening will feature:

cocktail hour with live music
delicious buffet-style meal
a welcome from WET's new Executive Director
keynote remarks delivered by Erik Fisher, Chair of the Maryland Critical Area Commission
Presentation of the John Groutt Award for Environmental Stewardship & Mike Pretl Award for Environmental Advocacy

Keynote Speaker: Erik Fisher

Erik Fisher has worked to advance environmental and land use policy in Maryland for the past 25 years. His efforts have helped strengthen rules and increase funding for forest conservation, green infrastructure, and Smart Growth planning throughout the state. Partnership between government, residents, and the private sector that builds trust and accountability is a hallmark of his work.

Erik was appointed to serve as Chair of the state’s Critical Area Commission in 2023. During his tenure, the Commission has expanded its scope to ensure that Maryland's shoreline communities are sustainable, resilient, and accessible for all in the face of rising seas and stronger storms.

When not working to protect Maryland’s beloved bays, he can usually be found somewhere in them!
