Our work with DuVal High School exemplifies how NDC provides continual technical assistance to a community over time, often utilizing multiple funding sources and connecting the community partner to outside resources. NDC supported the school in twelve projects over the course of five years, drawing on three separate funding sources. These projects all involved students in the design and installation processes, transferring knowledge about native plants, stormwater issues, and green infrastructure solutions.
