WI Stormwater Week Webinars - August 8 & 10
We have another two training coming up for you to save the date. The first is "Managing Water Where It Falls" and the second is "Leaf-free Streets for Clean Waters." They are both happening in collaboration with WI Stormwater Week!
Managing Water Where It Falls
Tuesday, August 8 (Noon-1:00 PM)
Online
Register here
The Rain Collection Webinar will include Chris Schultz (Senior Project Manager, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District) and Megan Högfeldt (Water Resources Specialist, City of Superior) discussing backyard practices that increase stormwater infiltration. Join to learn why rain collection is important, how to install a rain garden and rain barrel, and how these backyard practices benefit homeowners.
Leaf-free Streets for Clean Waters
Thursday, August 10 (Noon-1:00 PM)
Online
Register here
Join Phil Gaebler (City of Madison) and Christal Campbell (Dane County Land and Water Resources Dept. and the Madison Area Municipal Stormwater Partnership) to learn how timely removal of street leaves before the rain can help keep our waters clean. They’ll share information on a recent U.S. Geological Survey study that evaluates how leaf collection and street cleaning can reduce nutrients to local waters and how partners in Dane County used the results to create a community engagement program to keep streets leaf-free before the storm.
Have a great week!
