Program Description

Event Details

With stormwater runoff fees and increased concern about contamination of water supplies and flooding, it makes sense to seek ways to reduce rainfall runoff from residential lots through the use of native plantings and simple retention projects. Join River Action as they explain their “Retain the Rain” intiative, which explores some common projects to retain the water on your property, allowing it to soak into the ground instead of flow into storm sewers.
