Tale of a Bioswale

NAYA students plant bioswale

I spent the day with students from the Native American Youth Association’s (NAYA) Early College Academy as they installed a bioswale on the school grounds. Bioswales are landscape elements designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. This is part of their environmental science class project for the year that is co-sponsored by CMOP.

The Plan
It started with a plan.


Specific selection of plants.


Each plant is strategically located.


And planted by the NAYA students.
