GLIN==> Green Infrastructure Workshop

Rice, Cheryl - NRCS, Wauseon, OH Cheryl.Rice at oh.usda.gov

Tue Oct 11 13:23:33 EDT 2011

Subject Line: Green Infrastructure Workshop, Toledo, OH Oct 28

Green infrastructure is gaining popularity throughout the United States as a cost-effective strategy to manage stormwater, often in conjunction with more costly traditional gray infrastructure. Whether at the site, neighborhood, or watershed scale, decision makers are looking to enhance their communities with green infrastructure while saving money and protecting the environment.

Join us on Friday, October 28th, to learn more about green infrastructure practices and the benefits to the environment and financial bottom line. Anticipated presentations and data will be pulled from both local and regional projects - covering everything from bioswales to round-a-bouts.

Workshop organized by the Toledo-Lucas County Sustainability Commission. Funded in part by a grant from NOAA and the Ohio Coastal Training Program.
