SUMMARY:126th Street Vegetative Swale Section 1 Rain Garden Steward
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Serve Village\n\nThe Fishers Rain Garden Steward program allows the\ncommunity to get involved in sustainability projects in Fishers and to help\nprotect our natural resources. The program coordinates with volunteers who will\nhelp us maintain our 27 rain gardens located throughout the city. This program\ndoes not require prior knowledge of rain garden care\, in fact\, we strive for\nparticipants to learn something along the way! Maintenance varies at each rain\ngarden location\, however common tasks include removing invasive\, cutting\ncattail heads\, over seeding\, and removing trash.\nWhat is a Rain Garden\nA rain garden is a garden of native shrubs\, perennials\, and flowers planted in a small depression. It is designed to temporarily hold and soak in rainwater runoff that flows from roofs\, driveways\, patios\, lawns\, or other hard (impervious) surfaces\, preventing it from entering the storm sewer system. Soil and plant roots use natural processes to improve water quality by filtering pollutants. Rain gardens are effective in removing up to 90 percent of nutrients and chemicals\, and up to 80 percent of sediments from the storm water runoff. Compared to a conventional lawn\, rain gardens allow for 30 percent more water to soak into the ground. The water is held by the garden and allowed to slowly infiltrate the soil\, providing an important role in recharging ground water supplies and reducing storm water runoff volumes to local streams. A rain garden is not a pond or wetland but is dry most of the time and typically holds water for not more than two days during and following a rainfall event.\nThe Role of a Rain Garden Steward Participant\nThe primary role is to help maintain rain gardens\nregularly. Training and supplies will be provided. After responding to a Rain\nGarden Steward opportunity\, Fishers Wat…\n\nDetails: https://findyourtwo.org/opp/?id=77132
