Overview
Central Park Elementary is one of six school rain garden projects funded in part by a $150,000 Clean Water Fund grant. Our goal was to manage rainwater runoff at schools in priority areas of the watershed while engaging local communities in a shared learning experience. This project provides needed pollinator habitat and reduces the volume of polluted runoff that drains into Bennett Lake.
