“A core goal of Kalmia Gardens is to protect and preserve habitat. This project will not only restore a native ecological community, but will also help protect Black Creek from urban runoff. It will aid the Gardens in another of its goals, which is to be a leader in environmental education. This project will become part of our outdoor classroom, and we will educate students and the public about urban watersheds and the perils that threaten them, while offering sustainable solutions to these problems.

-Dan Hill, Assistant Director Kalmia Gardens of Coker College
