Ithan Elementary School Habitat Restoration (Delaware County, PA)

DRN and the school Green Team led the removal of invasive species from a degraded landscape area, and have begun restoration with diverse native plants.  The project includes the installation of vegetated swales and three rain gardens, as well as a native meadow and “habitat garden”. The restoration project is adjacent to the school and it’s bird garden, is providing additional habitat enhancements beneficial to pollinators, and is useful for integration with the science curriculum. Funding for the technical assistance provided by PA C-SAW, and funding for phase 1 plantings provided by the Radnor Educational Foundation and matching donations.
