Description:
Many urbanizing areas are faced with localized flooding problems and polluted runoff. Stormwater management best management practices (BMPs) are needed to treat both water quality and quantity. This mini-workshop and project tour will demonstrate what can be done to meet a variety of goals including water quality education, creating walking trails and viable green space, habitat restoration, decreasing erosion in streams, and methods to treat pollutants in runoff.
Join the designer for this exciting mini-workshop and project tour investigating urban stormwater management techniques. The Main Street Nature Park stormwater project that was recently constructed will be showcased, and participants will learn about aggressive exotic plant removal, riparian planting plans, and constructed stormwater wetlands. Stream enhancement techniques, stormwater best management practices (BMPs), and streamside forests will also be discussed.
