This one-day course will introduce students to vegetation assessment of riparian areas along streams that will potentially be restored. Existing riparian condition will be examined and discussed in both classroom and field settings. Topics will include stream bank stability from a vegetative perspective, evaluation of current plant inventory, invasive vegetation issues, and potential planting constraints. Identification of common riparian plants of North Carolina will also be discussed during field sessions. Students will be given handouts with information on how to identify individual riparian plants. |

Event: Low Impact Development Summit
When: June 23-24, 2008 - Asheville, NC |
|
Low Impact Development (LID) is an alternative to traditional site design, incorporating water treatment structures into the landscape and building footprint. The LID features are constructed to mimic pre-development hydrologic conditions and in turn, decrease surface runoff, erosion, and non-point source pollution, resulting in improved water quality. With economic benefits and flexible designs available, LID principles are becoming a more popular, attractive way to treat water quality on sites. |
