Together we'll learn all about...

Want to learn more about the St. Luke's "Regenerative Stormwater Conveyance"?

Spearheaded by 2014 WSA Steward Academy graduate, Betsy Love, the "Regenerative Stormwater Conveyance" at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Eastport is one of Annapolis Cities finest examples of green stormwater management infrastructure.  Covering just 2.5 acres of the campuses total 4 acres, the multi-tiered stormwater management system is highly efficient; helping to control the speed and filtration of more than 20 acres of urban drainage in Eastport, MD.
