Here's a short film of their work:
This project in collaboration with the Rutgers Water Resource Department established a native plant nursery in Waterfront South operated by the CfET on municipality land. This is a map of the native plant installations in the region. This map is a corridor of native plants that attract pollinators such as butterflies, birds and bees. This growing map will show how each garden is connected to a broader network of native plant gardens around the region. This next year 24 more rain gardens will be constructed in Camden. The CFET loves growing these beautiful native pollinators for this green infrastructure initiative. Check it out: http://www.opengreenmap.org/greenmap/native-plant-corridor
The current criteria for a site to make this map include plant diversity in species and flowering time, and no chemical spraying. PLease suggest a site if you'd like to put yourself on this map, directly on the map.
The CfET will continue to lead innovative community assessment, food system, sustainability initiatives and environmental injustice on this map. If you are interested in learning this mapmaking software or applying it to your school or community please e-mail Camden.cfet@gmail.com for more information.
