Adopt-A-Pond
Help decrease flooding, improve water quality and create habitat for wildlife in your area by participating in 新澳门六合彩’s Adopt-A-Pond program. As part of the program, you’ll work together with other participants to design and implement a five-year plan to improve local stormwater ponds.
Stormwater ponds collect runoff before it enters our storm sewer system, which flows directly into creeks, lakes, and ultimately Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
Activities may include:
- Removing invasive plants.
- Planting native plants.
- Hosting cleanup events.
- Conducting neighborhood outreach and education.
These activities can help improve water quality, restore habitats, improve drainage, protect against flooding and increase environmental stewardship in your community.
