In October 2007, about fifteen volunteers and partners met at Millville Town Hall on what could only be described as a miserable day for an outdoor project…hard rain, wind, and temperatures that wouldn’t go above 40 degrees to plant a native plant garden, the first stage of the Millville Town Hall Habitat Demonstration Project, a project we hope to duplicate at town halls throughout the watershed.

When completed, the project will also include a rain garden, rain barrels, and a demonstration buffer along the tax ditch that flows at the back of the property.

Information about how to build rain gardens, obtain native plants, use rain barrels, and plant for wildlife to create “Inland Bays Backyard Habitats” will be available free of charge to citizens at the town hall.
