August 3, 2025DeMasi is getting a rain garden! It’s all part of Evesham’s growing focus on sustainability and hands-on learning in local schools.
This week, the Evesham Township Parks Department began excavation and drainage work in front of the DeMasi Schools building, paving the way for a new rain garden designed to manage stormwater while beautifying the space.
Rain gardens are planted depressions that absorb runoff from impervious surfaces like roads, roofs, and sidewalks. They’re a smart, cost-effective way to reduce flooding, filter pollutants, and create habitat for pollinators—all while offering valuable educational opportunities for students.
This project is made possible through a Sustainable Jersey grant (funded by the PSEG Foundation), in collaboration with the Evesham Township School District, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program.
🌱 Building on Past Success
DeMasi isn’t the first to go green—back in 2019, more than 100 students at Rice Elementary School helped plant their own rain garden through a similar initiative. These projects do more than improve drainage—they teach students about environmental responsibility, sustainability, and the power of local action.

We love seeing improvements like this take root in our schools. The DeMasi rain garden is a wonderful example of what’s possible when environmental stewardship and education go hand in hand. 💧💚
