WHO ARE WE?
We are a team of middle school students taking part in the EarthEcho OurEcho Challenge and we have chosen to tackle the problem of flooding in our community due to the lack of prairie plants, which typically absorb excess rain water. Our solution is to plant rain gardens of prairie plants to absorb rain and help foster biodiversity.
