Schoolyard Gardens

Projects

Beginning in the Fall of 2012, CSG helped Clark Elementary School students plant and maintain a Wildlife Garden using plants native to the Charlottesville/Albemarle area. The garden is meant to attract and provide habitat for animals like salamanders and small mammals. The plants were bought using a Conservation Assistance Program grant from the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District.[2]
