\"\"Carrier Corporation and Baltimore Woods Help Syracuse City Students in\u00a0Hands-on Rain Garden Revitalization Project<\/em><\/p>\n

WHAT:
\nAs a long-standing sponsor of the Nature in the City program, Carrier Corporation is planning a hands-on\u00a0workday at Seymour Dual Language Academy with fifth grade students to restore and re-plant the rain garden at their school. Additionally, volunteers and students will plant flowers in the newly constructed flower beds in front of the school as part of an initiative by the Syracuse School District and clean up the neighborhood directly surrounding the school as part of the Onondaga County Save the Rain #BlockLitter campaign. Baltimore Woods Nature Center\u2019s Nature in the City education team will be on hand to teach students about the important role rain gardens play in improving water quality in the local watershed and to assist Carrier employees in their work\u00a0project. Onondaga County Save the Rain installed the rain garden in 2012 and is collaborating with Baltimore\u00a0Woods Nature Center on plant selection for the project. The school rain garden will be used in ongoing Nature\u00a0in the City lessons.<\/p>\n
