This spring Pickering Creek Audubon Center and Delmarva Community Service (DCS), Inc. will join forces for Greening the Grounds, a project to create new native plant habitats at two DCS properties in Cambridge. These locations include the Chesapeake Grove Intergenerational Center and DCS administrative offices at the Delmarva Action Center. The project is made possible through a generous grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s Green Streets, Green Jobs, Green Towns program.
Greening the Grounds will enhance landscaping at the DCS sites by replacing current plantings of invasive and non-native species with beneficial native plants, trees and shrubs. The new plantings will not only beautify a prime public setting frequented by local residents, but will also provide new habitat for birds, butterflies and other native pollinators, thus offering a welcoming environment for community members and wildlife alike.
