MASONVILLE COVE

About Masonville Cove

• Masonville Cove began as a shoreline restoration project,
to restore neglected land in the Middle Branch located in
Baltimore
• Masonville Cove is 70 acres of water and 54 acres of
cleaned up wetlands and nature trails
• Soon, Masonville Cove became a Education Center where
students could connect with nature in the outdoors and
participate in meaning volunteer projects that help
restore the shoreline/environment
 Why Masonville Cove?
• Nature brings a sense of peacefulness to the mind. Throughout
the last couple of weeks, I have been researching possible access
opportunities for my students. I chose to implement my action
plan using the Masonville Cove resource. Students will be able to
experience nature and participate in activities that benefit the
environment, as students also learn about how to care for the
environment.
What is a watershed?

What is runoff?
• Runoff is when rainwater travels over the ground to
the closest body of water taking any pollution on the
ground with it
