Project: Volunteers will help AWS with a Rain Garden Workday at John Bayne Elementary School. Main tasks will include mulching, weeding, and planting native plants in the rain garden. The rain garden at John Bayne helps to retain and filter stormwater runoff, reduce pollutants from entering the Anacostia River and provides wildlife habitat. it is important to maintain the rain gardens so that the native plants can continue to survive and flourish, so that they are able to continue providing great benefits to the community, wildlife, and watershed.
This project is part of our Treating and Teaching program. Treating and Teaching connects stormwater management solutions with student learning and environmental literacy curricula. By participating in this project, you will also help AWS and its partners to connect students and teachers to outdoor learning opportunities on their school grounds.
