Stormwater Education Experience at Back Creek Nature Park!

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 1:00 pm

Mayor Ellen Moyer, the Annapolis Recreation and Parks Department, the Friends of Back Creek Nature Park invite you to join us for a groundbreaking ceremony celebrating in Ward 7 for the new Stormwater Education Experience Center at Back Creek Nature Park.

Many of you have worked long and hard for several years alongside hundreds of our Naval Academy midshipmen to make this day possible.

The new Stormwater Education Experience Center, In partnership with the Maryland Department of the Environment and Back Creek Nature Park will become a working stormwater control system with interactive learning stations including a faux beaver dam, water pumps and eco-paver pervious parking lot. Nineteen on-site learning stations will educate local school children and families from around the region about how stormwater run-off and other natural occurring events help or harm our waterways, including the Chesapeake Bay.
(I have just one question. Could they not come up with a better name than Stormwater Education Experience??? Actually I have more questions. Will Mayor Moyer driver and park illegally there?
What is a pervious parking lot? Pervious?--as in Musharaff? or as in a parking lot with sexual deviation?
What is a faux beaver dam? Is that for faux beavers? Or is it a faux dam for real beavers? Will a real beaver know the difference? Gee...I don't know Beav....will the city be harvesting the faux furs? Or would that be a faux paw? Or does that depend if it includes a paw or not? I give up.....
I know this is important and I am pleased we are taking the lead here, but while we have interactive learning stations, will this help repair our miserably outdated stormwater system and water pumping stations?
