That repulsive unflushed toilet? Better to swim in it than in the Chesapeake Bay.

Westbrook ES Conservation Project Update:
Native Chesapeake wildflowers and grasses have been ordered from North Creek Nursery for planting in mid-September.  These plants are for the portion of the worksite that gets full sun and were chosen for their drought tolerance and overall strong growth.  The funds are from the Chesapeake Bay Trust.  I have submitted another grant application to get funds to plant the portion of the worksite that is shady. Click here for a list of the plants.
