Watershed 263, Produced by Katie Gott of SOUNDPRINT highlights one of the projects Mary Washington contributed to during her public service at Baltimore Housing and Community Development. Mary Washington is interviewed in this short feature. A brief description from the website:

“In urban areas across the country, trees and grass have been replaced with pavement and concrete. Storm water runoff from these paved surfaces in cities can be saturated with harmful substances such as gasoline, oil and trash. We head to the inner city of Baltimore where partners have joined forces to clean up the runoff flowing into the harbor and into the Chesapeake Bay, and at the same time to improve the quality of life for the residents living there.”
