Thank you WSSC. In December 2023, the Westbrook Elementary School meadow was destroyed by a water main break. Today, planting was completed by WSSC to restore the native plant meadow.
Visiting Westbrook and Sumner Village
This week I had the pleasure of visiting two of our habitat restoration projects to see how the plants were holding up. The goal in these project was to restore native plants to the areas - not so much as a landscaping project, but to bring back the wildflowers and plants that would normally grow in the area. We didn’t need to remove many non-native invasives, but just replaced the existing grass with native plants. I am pleased to say that both projects are doing well; it’s hard to even imagine what they looked like before. And there were butterflies and bees!
