Native trees planted by the edge of a pond to allow for habitat, shade, and pollution control
These pictures were all taken at Foxchase Community in Salisbury, Maryland. Salisbury University worked with the Foxchase Community to help create more habitat around their main pond. In doing so a duck box, a bee box, a bat box, 5 native flower groupings, and over 10 native trees were planted in the area to enhance the look and productiveness of the pond. This took less than 4 hours with the help of about 15 people.
