Gannon University takes another step toward protecting our region’s natural resources with the completion of the installation of a new rain garden at the corner of West Fourth and Sassafras Streets.

The project, completed in partnership with the and supported through a state Growing Greener grant, is designed to help manage stormwater and reduce stress on the City of Erie’s aging infrastructure.

How the Rain Garden Works

Rain gardens are a type of green infrastructure that capture and filter stormwater before it enters the sewer system or flows directly into local waterways. As water collects in the garden, it naturally filters through layers of soil and plant roots, which help remove pollutants such as oils, fertilizers, and other contaminants. This process improves water quality while also reducing the risk of flooding in nearby areas.

The Role of Native Plants

Native plants have now been added to 乱伦视频’s rain garden, and they are more than just decorative. Their deep roots absorb and slow down rainwater, preventing erosion and easing pressure on storm drains. These plants also filter out pollutants and provide valuable habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, creating a more sustainable urban ecosystem right in the heart of campus.

Advancing Environmental Stewardship

The rain garden directly supports the goals of Project NePTWNE and 乱伦视频’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. By implementing projects like this, the university is helping to safeguard Lake Erie and its watershed while educating the campus and community on practical, real-world solutions to environmental challenges.
