Sacred Grounds – Caring for Creation

For the past three years, CCC has partnered with the National Wildlife Federation, to plant native plants in our yards as a way to stem run off and pollution into the Sligo Creek Watershed. Once again, we are participating and will be distributing free Native Plants to those who pledge to plant them. Our faith calls us to nurture creation. Our local waterways are part of that—it is where we play and a source of sustenance for birds, frogs, fish, and butterflies. Our actions can protect other people downstream from pollution and flooding.

,Make a pledge today to plant natives in your yard, and we’ll provide you with the information you need to put our faith values into practice. By pledging, you’ll get a free starter kit of native plants that you can pickup on Sunday, April 30th (at CCC’s Earth Day Festival) to plant at home!

We’re aiming to recruit 100 homes—will you be one of them?

YOU CAN STILL PLEDGE!
