Our Native Pond
We're very excited for our new native pond, which was funded by a Constellation Energy EcoStar grant. An enormous thank you goes out to our student volunteers from Ben Franklin @ Masonville Cove, as they were instrumental in completing this project!

On a second visit, the Ben Franklin students helped us move three tons of rock! Native Pond
