Waterfront Partnership’s set out on their second Wildlife Gardening excursion at Rash Field on 06/15/2024. With Joe Corcoran of the Baltimore Bird Club leading the way, two dozen birders spotted a variety of birds, created hanging bird treats and learned how to attract more birds to their own yards!

Waterfront Partnership’s 5th wildlife workshop was a hopping success! Frogs with Friends offered fun frog and toad facts, and insect search & identification and a hands-on demonstration of how to build a frog hotel! Everyone had a chance to decorate a terra cotta pot to make a Toad Abode and meet a live tree frog!

Waterfront Partnership’s third Wildlife Workshop at Rash Field focused on why snakes are more friendly than fearsome!

Waterfront Partnership and Morgan Stanley volunteers got out on a breezy spring afternoon to give the Lancaster Butterfly Waystation “The Chelsea Chop”! This springtime practice helps encourage new growth, extend the bloom times, and, in some cases, promote a second bloom. Read on to find out more!

Waterfront Partnership kicked off its Wildlife Gardening program with spring showers and a Rash Field Park tree walk! Despite the weather, attendees learned about the varieties of species in the park, identified leaves and even took home their own saplings!

Waterfront Partnership led two groups of corporate volunteers for Earth Week, exploring urban ecology, habitat features, and ways to fight climate change through Wildlife Gardening!

Wildlife gardening, or intentionally creating sustainable environments for surrounding creatures, is an important part of caring for our waterfront parks and gardens. One engaging way of doing this is by creating bee and insect hotels! These sculptural elements offer an inviting place to stay for certain insects, including bees.

We engaged 60 volunteers from Morgan Stanley to complete projects at our conservation gardens in the Inner Harbor and Harbor Point. At the Lancaster canal, our volunteers weeded the 4800 sq foot conservation garden, and installed new nesting materials at our bee and insect hotel.

Wildlife Gardening at the Inner Harbor means being intentional with the many green spaces that surround the Promenade and tending to them through a conservation lens. This week, we celebrated Earth Day by Wildlife Gardening thanks to more than 80 volunteers from Morgan Stanley, BGE, and Constellation.
