The project replaced a 60-foot diameter compacted lawn with a multipurpose stormwater bioretention area on the Lafayette College campus. The project serves to (1) reduce runoff to Bushkill Creek from campus, (2) provide pollinator habitat through the use of native plants and shrubs, (3) incorporate signage to educate the college community about stormwater runoff and pollinator decline, and (4) provide a site for student research on green infrastructure and local ecology.
Amount: $2,300
