In this free-of-charge program, stream ecologists from the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) in Fairfax County, Virginia, introduce students to stormwater and watershed ecosystems management through hands-on native plant installations in existing bioretention or dry pond facilities. The students are taught about native plants, stormwater and water quality and in 2018, ten schools with over 1,000 students total planted over 4,300 natives.
