Church of the Holy Spirit, 204 Monument Road, Orleans MA
Sunday, September 15th, 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m., (Map location #19)
Join Regenerative Agroecologist Peter Jensen and Holistic Nutritionist and Horticulturalist Lynn Van Norman, for a walk through the water runoff terraced gardens, terraces and swales to learn about the progression of change that led to the removal of locust and Norway maples to make way for a solar panel array. Road, hill and solar panel runoff was threatening the vernal pool and wetlands below, as well as the structural integrity of the solar panels themselves. Learn how this runoff has now been controlled and saturates the terraces such that the spring and summer native shrubs and pollinators can thrive.
