Watershed Stewards Academy Projects

A requirement for our Watershed Stewards is to complete a capstone project that improves stream health. The following are some of our Watershed Steward's Projects over the years! 

The Floating Wetlands project completed by Stewards Allison Mosley and Bryon Bodt. The project was completed at Ladew Gardens in Monkton. Stop by for a visit to see the project for yourself.

The Havre De Grace Pollinator garden completed by Stewards Stephanie Noye, Sarah Shpak, and Megan Charles created a successful pollintor garden in the City of Havre de Grace funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust.

The Bosley Conservancy Pollinator Garden directed by our Watershed Steward Byron Bodt and implemented with the help of many wonderful volunteers. This garden has proven itself to be a favorite spot among Monarchs and Lady Bugs in its first season!  The pictures tell the success story!
