Five large-screen TVs playing varied programming offer a perfect escape\u2014or an easy conversation starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hub also doubles as a space that can be used for get-togethers, team-building exercises, and special occasions.

The City of Clemson prepared for the project by digging out eroded areas of land, and the Boy Scouts came to the park on Saturday to work. Removing the eroded areas of land made room for swales, which work similarly to gutters, catching all the rainwater. Where a gutter would allow all the water to just pour out and away, a swale catches the water and slowly releases it back to the earth over time. On Saturday, the Boy Scouts worked together to fill in the swales with the soil mix. Soil mix is better than clay because it provides for greater permeability and it promotes a healthy soil ecosystem for future planting.<\/p>\n<p>Projects like this are wonderful ways for the community to be inspired by others showing their appreciation for the environment. According to a Water Resource agent with Clemson University, bioretention projects like this one are great examples of \u201cLow Impact Development (LID) within our Clemson community.\u201d Normally, rainwater would build up and flood nearby roads, parking lots and rooftops. Buildup of water like this can contribute to \u201cerosion and pollution of ground and surface water via stormwater runoff.\u201d Thanks to this project, our water is cleaner, and our landscape is healthier and more beautiful. It\u2019s because of people like those involved with this project that our shared resources can continue to improve!<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1163\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1163 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"This picture shows one of the completed swales. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After-250x148.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.clemson.edu\/facilities\/files\/2020\/09\/Boy-Scouts-and-Leaders-After.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The swales will prove to be an essential and valued contribution to the environment, creating more opportunities for healthy growth while preventing flooding.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clemson Recycling had the opportunity to partner with the Boy Scouts and the City of Clemson to create a bioretention basin in Gateway Park along the Green Crescent Trail.
