It's been a while since we did a #FeelGoodFriday post, so we want to send a big congratulations to Betty for being a winner of our Earth Day rain barrel raffle! 🥳
Happy #EarthDay! 🌎 While we like to say Earth Day is every day, it's always nice to send extra love to our local waterways. 🌊 Thank you to everyone that stopped by our table at the Earth Day Festival this past weekend! Keep up the great work and have a wonderful Earth Day! 🥳
Don't forget - the Wilmington Earth Day Alliance is hosting the annual Earth Day Festival tomorrow at Long Leaf Park from Noon - 6 p.m.! We'll be under one of the big tents. Play one of our games and we'll enter you into our free rain barrel raffle! 🌧 Hope to see you there! 👋
Nature-based stormwater solutions mimic the way natural spaces slow down, spread out, and soak in stormwater runoff. This helps treat and filter pollutants, like bacteria, before they can reach local waterways. Learn more at our website - healourwaterways.org.
Mark your calendars for the Wilmington Earth Day Festival, coming to Long Leaf Park on April 20th! 🌎 Visitors can explore booths from over 50 exhibitors, enjoy live music, and learn more about this year's theme, "Planet vs. Plastics". Check it out at wilmingtonearthday.com.

Winter is feeling like winter y,'all🥶Don't forget about your rain barrels during freezes. Make sure to drain the water so it doesn't expand inside, clear debris or blockages, open the spigots so water flows freely, or even disconnect the barrel until it warms up (next week!). ❄️

The smile: The reason:
This project was made possible through an EPA 319 Grant awarded to @NCState University in partnership with the City of Wilmington’s @HealRWaterways Program.
Here is the same area prior to being converted to a bioretention basin.
This particular project will treat approximately 19,000 gallons of stormwater runoff each time it rains.
Just like a rain garden, this new bioretention area will slow down and soak in stormwater runoff from the surrounding parking lots, roads, and buildings before it can potentially wash pollutants, like bacteria, into the headwaters of Bradley Creek.
This morning, master gardeners from NC Cooperative Extension added several native plants to a new bioretention area in front of Cypress Pointe Apartments, located in the Bradley Creek Watershed.
October is North Carolina Oyster Month, a “shellabration” of what scientists call a keystone species, one that’s crucial to North Carolina’s marine and coastal environments. coastalreview.org/2023/10/octobe…
Oyster farming = healthy estuary. We worked with partners in @NCReserve’s Masonboro Island to assess #EcosystemServices of oyster aquaculture and found that one acre of oysters removes 50-230 kg of nitrogen! coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/shellf… #EstuariesWeek
August is #Waterqualitymonth and on this #WildlifeWednesday we're exploring the life around #livingshorelines! These oysters help improve the water quality around these shorelines and provide habitat for even more little creatures! 🦪🦐🐟🌊 #NCCoast #ProtectandRestore
Be a 🏆 for our 🌊 by sweeping to keep 🍂, grass, and fertilizers out of storm drains. Excess phosphorus and nitrogen from yard waste and fertilizers in our waterways cause algae to grow faster than aquatic ecosystems can handle. #protectourwaters
