Want to learn by doing? If you like to get your hands dirty, join the Watershed Stewards and Clark County to build a rain garden at a new "green built" Habitat for Humanity home. Rain gardens collect rainwater from your roofs in a shallow depression in a yard. Rain gardens help filter runoff and recharge groundwater. Rain gardens provide beauty and an easy way for all of us to take care of our streams and rivers and the plants and animals that rely on them. Participants will learn about designing, building, and maintaining rain gardens.
The workshop is presented by the Watershed Stewards, a partnership of Washington State University Clark County Extension and Clark County Environmental Services Clean Water Program.
