Rain Garden Installations

Volunteer Opportunity

Rain gardens divert water from manmade surfaces into gardens planted with native shrubs, grasses, flowers, layered soil, and sand, which together work to filter out harmful stormwater pollutants.

This year, we are installing residential rain gardens throughout New Haven and Hamden and are looking for volunteers to assist us in this important work.

Interested in volunteering but don’t know what dates you’ll be free yet? Fill out our volunteer interest form here.
