Under the watchful eyes of Mason Con-
servation and Southside School staff, fifth-,
sixth- and seventh-graders at the school
helped install a roughly 600-square-foot rain
garden in the parking lot on Friday.
Southside teacher Stella
Fe~ley said the project began
as a way to mitigate a drain-
age problem, in the school's
parking lot and ended as a
teaching opportunity.
'~e want to nurture our
students in the Southside
community," she said. "This
is an opportunity for them to
create a legacy. I think they
felt really good about that."
The project was funded by
the Squaxin Island Western
Estuary Initiative grant. Of-
ficials from the Mason Con-
servation District were on
hand Friday to help the stu-
dents plant the garden.
'%Ve like to work with children," said Seth
Book, from the conservation district. '%Ve're
basically trying to promote low-impact devel-
opment."
Rain gardens help channel sto~:water
away from impervious surfaces, such as park-
ing lots, into the gardens, which include loose
soil, gravel and native plants. The materi-
als allow the water to drain from the surface
quickly, Book explained.
The gardens can also help improve water
quality, he said.
"We're going to be reducing ponding, it's
going to increase safety. It's also going to be
treating oils and heavy metals that are run
off from the parking lot," he said.
Community members
and parents have also vol-
unteered their time to make
the project a reality.
On June 2, a group of vol-
unteers dug the base for the
rain garden, and on Friday,
students from the school
"This is an
opportunity
for (students}
to create a
started p!acing plants in the
legacy, m think garden.
Book said the program
they feJt realWy, provided a perfect opportu-
nity for adults who wanted
about to help at the school but
didn't know how.
L| |¢~L4~ w~ "It becomes an anchor in
the community," he said.
Each year students at
Southside have several opportunities to learn
about ecology and water quality.
Some of the same students who installed
the rain garden have a chance to complete
water quality tests at Walker Park. Feeley
+said projects like these help students feel in
touch with, and aware of, the community they
live in.
