Thanks to a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust (funded by sales of Maryland's Treasure of the Chesapeake license plate) we  leave our urban campus to get outside and learn through hands-on experiences. Most of our student driven best management practices are done off-site. 
_Planting a Living Shoreline - Ben Oaks community along the Severn River: October 6, 2012, April 24, 2013 and November 2, 2013

Baltimore Lab School students helped to plant and maintain a living shoreline.  Fall 2012 and 2013.

9th-12th grade Students, beginning in 2011 with Mr. White's chemistry students and continuing with Ms. Huggins' Environmental Science students, explored streams for macroinvertebrates and conducted water quality tests. The water quality tests included the levels of dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates, phosphates, and fecal coliform. Photos and results were reported to specific communities on the Issac Walton Creek Freaks web site. Students summarized the data they collected, and wrote action letters to Ben Oaks Community Organization. As a result of photos, testing, and letters summarizing the data and its implications, the Ben Oaks Community on the Severn River has planted a living shoreline.
