Environment and Open Space
Protection of the environment and the demand for open space have been issues that Councilman Gardina has been involved in since his childhood. He has done much to help protect our earth, the Chesapeake Bay and our County's natural resources.
"We are on earth for a short while and must protect it for those that follow."
