Bostwick is a historic, eighteenth-century site located in Bladensburg, Maryland. It consists of a Georgian-style, central passage, main house that was altered in the early twentieth century in a Colonial Revival redo, multiple outbuildings dating from the late eighteenth to early twentieth century and landscaped grounds, including terraces. Christopher Lowndes, a locally prominent, English-born merchant built Bostwick in 1746 using indentured and enslaved workers. The house reflects the wealth and aesthetic tastes of Maryland’s colonial elite.

Global FEWture Alliance

Climate change, population growth, and urbanization are crippling global food, energy, and water (FEW) systems and harming public health. Low-income communities and people of color bear the heaviest burdens. With support from the University of Maryland Grand Challenges Institutional grant, the Global FEWture Alliance will scale technology-based solutions, community-driven capacity building, and experiential education focused at the food-energy-water-climate-health nexus.

Building Climate Resilience in Prince George's County

While the scale of action required to address climate change is daunting, it is also an opportunity to build strong local community capacity. In FY23, EFC was funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust Prince George’s County Stormwater Stewardship Grant program, to pilot a residential training program designed to educate and engage community members on climate change and empower them to serve as community climate champions that have the capacity to lead local climate implementation efforts.

BMP Maintenance in Charles County

Stormwater management is important. But how do we gain buy-in from private property owners? EFC is partnering with Charles County, MD, to map the environmental resources available in the County in order to increase connectivity between private property owners and the entities that can help them meet their stormwater management goals. The team is also developing an education and outreach plan designed to reach all homeowners with rain gardens and porous pavement.
