Hello everyone...
This summer, I'm teaching a summer workshop for fourth and fifth grade
students at my school. As part of the program, we will be planting a native
plant rain garden. As part of this project, I would like to students to
gain an understanding of the positive benefits that native plants and rain
gardens have on the local and larger watersheds. I'm planning the whole
three week program by myself, and would rather not recreate the wheel.
Does anyone know of any material resources, books, or websites that would be
of use in this endeavor?
Also, does anyone who has done a habitat improvement project before have any
pointers that could help me?
Thanks for your help,
Bethany Swiston
Baltimore County, Maryland
