Working with community members to help keep our waters clean!
Working with community members to help keep our waters clean!
The Flow Project is a seasonal environmental collaboration with The Nature Conservancy as project lead and Groundwork Bridgeport, Lots of Fish, MetroCOG, and Save the Sound as partners. The purpose of this project is to share knowledge about greening Bridgeport's urban landscape, engaging the community, and using green infrastructure to prevent continued water pollution in affected communities.
Together we aim to work with members of the Bridgeport community to identify opportunities for planting trees or installing other nature-based solutions that can help to mitigate localized flooding and water pollution while providing habitat and green spaces for wildlife and residents alike. In addition to helping assess potential sites for bioswales volunteers can also join in painting some environmental murals and/or planting trees.
