Excited to be expanding my education this year, knowledge is wealth. Rain Gardens 🥰☔️💧🪴 This massive rain garden has saved an entire neighborhood thousands of dollars by preventing flooding and collecting water run off. #raingarden #asibaraforest #forestschool
One Rain Garden course in my conservation stewardship course last year and im hooked on the possibilities. This massive rain garden in Plymouth, MI collects thousands of gallons of water that would have flooded their streets and accompanying basements. Excited to continue my education with this course.

Studies from National Wildlife Federation show that youth who engage in night play develop deeper more meaningful connections to nature, leading to better physical health, increased creativity and improved academic performance.
