The Maryland Department of the Environment, Department of Natural Resources, and the school cooperated to construct and plant this site in Summer/Fall 1999.

Status
Some portions of this site are too dry. For this reason, using the newly developed Mitigation Site Scoring Method, MDE gave this site a score of 73/100. This site still provides some valuable wetland functions, including furnishing organic matter to the aquatic food web, water quality improvement, wildlife habitat, and educational/aesthetic qualities.
