The newest of the advanced learning councils, Environmental Consultants’ Council is becoming an active contributor to National Capital Area Garden Club’s educational programs. Although still in its infancy, the Council is already spreading the word about the importance of rain gardening as a cure for protecting and purifying the ground water system in and around the Chesapeake Bay. It is focusing on the problem of non-native invasive plants, birds, bugs, and animals and on ways to control them. Programs on preserving our native species and guarding areas where they live help members increase their awareness of dangers to the environment and give solid instruction on how best to reach their goals of preserving and protecting the environment.
