One Back Yard at a Time
Video Stream Workshop - Coming to a computer near you!
September 15, 2009 – 9:00 am to 11:30 am (PDT)
Location TBD
Want to do something ‘green’ and good for the environment, as well as beautiful?
Does rainwater run off your property into the street?
Does your neighbor’s rainwater run onto your property?
What is a rain garden?
How big does a rain garden need to be?
What plants should be included in a rain garden?
Why does that house have plants growing on the roof?
These are just a few of the questions we will answer in the September 15 th broadcast of Stormwater Management: One Backyard at a Time! The WSU Video team toured Whidbey Island, Washington, Bend, Oregon, and Ketchum/Sun Valley Idaho to see what home and business owners, developers, city engineers and mayors are initiating to curb the pollution running to the surface and ground waters. Examples of Best Management Practices being implemented in the three distinct climates of the case studies give a well rounded illustration of the various methods available.
