Program Description

Event Details

You can design your yard to hold and retain stormwater instead of losing it to runoff. By utilizing strategically planned landscaping practices (called Rainscaping) at your home, you can help water naturally soak into the ground, preventing flooding and protecting water quality. 

Join Cassie Druhl from The Rain Campaign to discuss the variety of Rainscaping practices and to learn about funding assistance programs that are offered by communities in Polk County.
