Join Save the Sound as we plant rain gardens to reduce stormwater runoff throughout New Haven & Hamden! We need volunteers to help plant native plant species. Tools and gloves will be provided.

Rain gardens divert water from manmade surfaces into gardens planted with native shrubs, grasses, flowers, layered soil, and sand, which together work to filter out harmful stormwater pollutants.

This year, we are installing residential rain gardens throughout New Haven and Hamden and are looking for volunteers to assist us in this important work.

Please contact apaltauf@savethesound.org for more information. This is a great opportunity for anyone with an interest in rain gardens and bioswales. No special skills required!
