Healthy Center and Environment
The Elms is the epitome of a healthy environment for the students and wildlife alike. The Elms was even Bay Wise certified!
Award: Elms Property certified Bay Wise Landscape (2013)
We at Elms are proud to be doing our part to keep the bay healthy.
About The Bay Wise Program:
"Take the Bay-Wise Challenge. How does your yard "measure up"? Contact the Bay-Wise Program at [email protected] to have Master Gardener volunteers give your residence a free consultation on better environmental practices. Taking the advice of our educated volunteers, you can even get your landscape Bay-Wise certified! This certification signifies bay-friendly environmental practices that you can be proud of, as well as earning official Bay-Wise signage."
The Maryland Bay- Wise Program
"Better water quality through smarter gardening" Most Maryland residents live within a half-mile of a storm drain, stream or river. Most of those waterways eventually drain into the Chesapeake Bay. What we do to maintain our own landscapes can affect the health of our local waterways (drainage ditches, streams and rivers), the Chesapeake Bay and our environment. We all need to do our part to take care of our waterways and environment. By changing a few simple landscape practices, you and your family can help keep Maryland communities healthy.
