EXPLORING THE POLLINATOR GARDEN

*Monthly Clean-Ups The Lake Accotink Park (lake shore/streams/trails- the entire park not just the trail) Clean-Ups are our monthly FLAP clean-ups (we average 120 bags a month or 1440 annually + 5,000lbs of items/tires, bumpers, shoes, metal pipes and trashcans, fence sections, garden furniture...), approximately 90+ volunteers (we supply the safety vests, gloves, tools and trash bags).  During these events our volunteers additionally remove harmful vines from the trees along the trail.   Overall impact is over 100,000+ Lbs of trash removed.* Dog Waste Stations We now have 11 stations located around the trail and have purchased and dispensed over 140,000 dog waste bags in the last year (removing thousands of ponds of harmful dog waste, improves the quality of the Accotink, Chesapeake Bay watersheds but also of the overall health of the environment).  Our dedicated community volunteers refill, repair and maintain these stations.  The stations were procured by FLAP, all supplies (bags and ..) are provided by FLAP.* Margaret Kinder Education and Pollinator Garden – Lake Accotink Park - April 2021 marks five years since the initial conception of this educational pollinator garden. Our Pollinator garden consists of over 880 plants and 14  varieties.  FLAP Funded and Volunteers prepared the land (cleared), planted, installed, and continue to care and maintain the garden.  Our certified experts conduct the Pollinator Garden Classes (started May 2021) have been attended thus far by approximately 80 eager learners (adults to youngsters) .  We provide educational brochures, pack of seeds (native plants) and other items to help the attendees get their own garden started.  We also hold monthly volunteer care sessions for the Garden.
