Saturday, 4\/22, noon – 3 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Campus Bioswale Gardens<\/p>\n

Volunteers are needed to help beautify the
\ncampus by cleaning up the bioswale gardens
\nthat run along the outer roadway.\"\"<\/p>\n

Bioswales, or rain gardens, collect surface water runoff and prevent harmful waste products from infiltrating Long Island\u2019s underground aquifer and natural water bodies. Five years ago horticulture students designed and installed two bioswale gardens along the campus outer ring road. These gardens – utilizing native plants – collect surface water runoff from nearby parking lots and demonstrate sustainable stormwater management while providing seasonal beauty to our campus.<\/p>\n

The Department of Urban Horticulture & Design does an annual removal of last year\u2019s plant growth and a general cleanup. They department needs your help.<\/p>\n

To volunteer, contact Professor Michael Veracka, Michael.veracka@farmingdale.edu<\/a><\/strong> or 631-420-2392.<\/span><\/p>\n
