Middle school students in Hanover, N.J. completed a rain garden project in March, which was then put on display at the Multi-Purpose Community Center, according to a report from New Jersey Hills.
The display featured information about the effect rain gardens can have on storm water runoff, particularly how some plants can absorb rainwater and reduce pollution that often makes its way into waterways.
Cooperation between Memorial Junior High School, Rutgers Cooperative Extension and The Whippany River Watershed Action Committee make the project possible. WRWAC provide grant funding for it.
