Earlewood Planting

On Saturday, November 5, Columbia Water, Congaree Riverkeeper, and members of Sustainable Carolina met at Earlewood Park (1111 Recreation Drive) to complete the planting of over 100 native plants along the tributary to Smith Branch.

Funding for this cooperative project was provided in part by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control with funds from the United States Environmental Protection Agency under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act.

Native species typically require less water and fertilizer once established and also provide habitats for pollinators and other wildlife. To learn more about native plants, proper irrigation, and more, visit: Blue Thumb Landscaper.

Columbia Water and local organizations work together to beautify Earlewood.
