Town Center Park Rain Garden - May 9What's going on at Hamden Town Center Park? Find out this Thursday, May 9 at our presentation with HLCT Board Member Jim Sirch (above left) and Save the Sound Ecological Restoration Project Manager Nicole Davis (right), at Miller Library, Thornton Wilder Hall starting at 7pm. Find out about the new native plant rain garden and stormwater mitigation project installed at the park. Learn about native plants for rain gardens, what stormwater pollution is, and how rain gardens can help.
Our friends at Save the Sound and the Town of Hamden Public Works Department recently created a large-scale rain garden filled with Connecticut native plants to help filter harmful polluted stormwater, restore habitat, and create a greener and more resilient Hamden thanks to support from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The entire project will filter pollution from 96 million gallons of stormwater each year for a safer and healthier Hamden. With a generous grant from the Claire C. Bennitt Watershed Fund, your land trust installed a portion of the project with more than 500 native pollinator plants and the help of dozens of volunteers. A follow-up volunteer planting event is planned for the fall. |
