Alderman Elementary Rain Garden
Volunteers will help maintain rain gardens by removing invasive plants, pulling weeds, pruning trees and spreading mulch. The rain gardens and stormwater wetlands are projects implementing the Bradley and Hewletts Creeks Watershed Restoration Plan, which aims to reduce the amount of polluted runoff that makes its way into the creeks. Rain gardens and wetlands help filter polluted runoff, protecting water quality and preventing swim advisories and shellfish closures. Rain gardens and wetlands also help to reduce hazardous flooding and provide wildlife habitat.
