For over a year, Girl Scout Ambassador Cynthia Paterson has been working to raise the quality of soils, water, and storm water mitigation at the museum, with the use of Green Infrastructure practices. Green Infrastructure is a form of water management that aids in flood control by mimicking the stages of the water cycle, in containing, diverting or retaining wet weather impacts with rain barrels, rain gardens, and inverted landscapes.

Cynthia recruited volunteers, designed educational materials, and on Saturday the 25th of May, she led a large group of volunteers in the improvement of three high impact areas at Tallahassee Museum–in fulfillment of requirements for her Girl Scout Gold Award.
