Students Use Their Imaginations and Artistic Vision For Greening

As part of Parks & People's continuing partnership with Barclay Elementary/Middle School, staff and students are working to create a community tool library and greening demonstration project. What was formally a simple shipping container is being outfitted with a special "butterfly" roof for capturing rainwater, rain barrels and possibly a mini green roof complete with living plants.

After the students got a lesson in how rainbarrels work, Ryan Patterson, Parks & People's Community Arts Coordinator, helped the students design the roof for the top of the container.

This is just one of many projects that Parks & People and Barclay are working on together and one piece of a much larger committment to environmental education in communities throughout Baltimore.
