Freshly shucked oysters somehow taste even better when you’re helping protect the waters they grow in. Last Friday, LandStudies staff enjoyed a special lunch at the office, sharing gratitude and pride in being part of the widespread effort to clean up the Bay, starting within our local watersheds.

Just behind this smorgasbord at our Lititz office sits New Street Park Floodplain Restoration, one of our earliest projects constructed in 2004. More than 20 years later, it’s still hard at work capturing sediment and nutrients during high flow events and providing valuable habitat for wildlife in a developed area. The waters of Santo Domingo Creek flow through New Street Park into Lititz Run, then the Conestoga River, onward to the Susquehanna, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.

From our backyard to the Bay, we’re all connected—and every restoration makes a difference.

Today’s meeting agenda: belly rubs, treats, and tail wags. When we’re not working like dogs, we’re enjoying their company. Here’s a few of our four-footed office colleagues that help us manage the hard work behind floodplain restoration and improving water quality everyday. (Rico, Bubba, Shemp, and Darby)
