2017 - 2018 Roof Runoff and Flowerbeds

How can you help prevent erosion and keep toxins from roof water from entering the ecosystem? Students at Arbour Lake School think they can help! They are designing and constructing flower garden beds and placing them beneath the rainspouts from the roof. The plants will help to filter toxins out of the water before they reach the storm drain. Students will also monitor erosion rates and the new insect habitat their gardens provide.
