Green Valley Elementary School Environmental Site Design
Location: Frederick County, MD Updated: August 13, 2010
Organization: Potomac Conservancy Primary contact: Aimee Weldon
A bioretention basin (i.e. rain garden) is being constructed at Green Valley Elementary School to help control stormwater runoff from the school's campus. Water and sediment have been washing down from an upland ball field and the surrounding impervious and turf surfaces. The rain garden will be enhanced by regrading of the ball field and reterracing of eroding slopes to re-direct sediment into adjacent forested areas and to control sediment erosion.

Protect and enhance 29 acres of riparian habitat along the middle Carson River and within the Lower Carson River IBA.

Horton Grove Nature Preserve
Location: Durham County, NC Updated: June 11, 2010
Organization: Triangle Land Conservancy Primary contact: Walt Tysinger
A 740 acre nature preserve located in Durham County, NC. Horton Grove is a site replete with centuries of human contact. The primarily forested property was once part of the largest plantation in NC. The unfragmentted forest property contains a mix of upland hardwood forest, pine forest and old field pine forest comunities and more than 25000 feet of riparian habitat. TLC will open a nature preserve with public access to trails for public recreation and education. TLC is in the process of developing a preserve design, forest management plan, establishing a management strategy for the property and a prairie restoration plan for 30 acres. Additionally TLC is working with NC Division of Cultural Resources to link this Horton Grove Preserve with the Stagville State Historic Site. Plans include joint parking for trail network, designing a co-use trail network and developing interpretive education for the larger trail network that discusses the context of the properties, their history and their management. Horton Grove Preserve was once part of the largest plantation in Pre-Civil War North Carolina. Stagville, the neighboring property, was the plantation headquarters and the site of the slave housing. The original buildings still stand today, under the management of the State of NC.
