Project Overview
Our flagship carbon sink garden at Jackson Woods Park features a carefully selected array of native plants known for their exceptional carbon sequestration capabilities. This garden serves as both an environmental asset and educational resource for the Long Branch community.
The diverse plant selection supports local pollinators while maximizing carbon absorption. Interpretive signage explains how each species contributes to carbon capture and climate resilience. This project demonstrates how public parks can be enhanced to combat climate change while preserving natural beauty.
Native species planted include Seaside Goldenrod, Milkweed, Eastern Bluestar, Bottlebrush Grass, Buttonbush, Little Bluestem, and Culver's Root - all selected for their carbon sequestration abilities and adaptability to the local ecosystem.
