Local habitat naturalization got a welcome boost recently from the Midland Rotary Club.
The club recently presented the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) with a $2,450 donation, aimed at enhancing biodiversity in the Severn Sound watershed.
This funding will be instrumental in purchasing native seeds and plants for SSEA’s biodiversity enhancement and education parks and Severn Sound engagement and education projects.
Through various external funding sources, SSEA collaborates with local municipalities and schools on these initiatives, creating tailored naturalization plans that consider soil and light conditions.
“Thanks to the Midland Rotary Club’s contribution, we can now acquire a more diverse array of native wildflowers, seeds, trees and shrubs to enrich municipal green spaces and school grounds,” said SSEA biodiversity enhancement intern Jacqueline Laurin.
“These activities support pollinators and wildlife and help raise awareness of the importance of enhancing natural areas in the watershed.”
SSEA also coordinates volunteers to help with planting. Municipal partners, schools and volunteers interested in participating in the parks or education projects, can contact the organization at (705) 534-7283, [email protected] or click here.
