Welcome to the Stormwater Stewards Webpage!
The Stormwater Stewards Present:
"Choosing stormwater management practices: Which ones are best for you and your property"?
An interactive webinar on April 27th, 2021 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm.
Please join us to discuss how stormwater management practices can help improve the resilience and beauty of your property. We will model the application of stormwater-sensitive lawn care practices, soil quality restoration, rain barrels, and rain gardens. These practices can improve the appearance of your property while reducing the production of runoff and pollutants. Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to discuss how these practices could be used on their own properties.
This virtual meeting will be held via Zoom, a free video-conferencing platform.
Please register for the meeting by e-mailing Ms. Bree Marmur at bmarmur@iastate.edu!
You will need to create your own Zoom account to access the meeting on March 20th. As this webinar will feature interactive discussions between the participants and the hosts, a computer with a working microphone and webcam is encouraged.
