Join us at a free workshop for residents interested in reducing stormwater runoff on their property and in their community. While the focus is on the Meadows neighborhood ‘stormshed’ in Montpelier all are welcome. Stormwater runoff is any form of natural precipitation (including ice and snowmelt) that flows across the land surface. Stormwater runoff carries fertilizers, pesticides, sediment, and pollutants directly into our rivers and lakes making them potentially unsafe for recreation and wildlife. This workshop will introduce a variety of low cost practices that can be used to mitigate stormwater runoff. Some of these practices include rain barrels, dry wells, rain gardens, infiltration trenches and natural lawn care. You will also learn about a cost share program to help you install some of these practices. You could win a rain barrel!

RSVP to info@winooskiriver.org or call (802) 882-8276.

WNRCD Board Members and Staff will meet to discuss District financials and projects.  Members of the public are welcome to attend.
