FedEx and NFWF Dig In

The sun came out and so did hard-working volunteers in Washington, D.C., at a project to keep polluted stormwater out of local streams and the Chesapeake Bay. The event at Maury Elementary School on Capitol Hill was part of the FedEx EarthSmart Outreach Program, a partnership with NFWF that focuses on urban conservation actions.

DC Greenworks, which focuses on green infrastructure projects in the District, coordinated teams from FedEx and NFWF to create a new rain garden on the Maury campus. The garden will soak up rainwater to prevent or reduce run-off into the Chesapeake.
