“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there really is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”

- John Ruskin



 

Project volunteers planted 950 seedlings of 10 native species, and helped stabilize and restore 1,400 feet of stream in the park. Park maintenance staff further enhanced the buffer area by establishing a 100-foot wide “no mow area” along the stream. The project was funded, in part, by a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund. More than 40 citizens participated in the event.
