On Wednesday, April 2, learn about green stormwater projects for your
community in an up close and personal way! Join us on a FREE tour of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stormwater management in southeastern Montgomery County.
The tour will showcase how several sites use different Green Infrastructure practices to handle stormwater issues, and will provide you with knowledge and resources to implement BMPs in your community.
We will see how schools in Abington and Cheltenham partnered with TTF to take the initiative to protect the streams on their property with riparian buffers. Project Specialists involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of the practices will:
- Discuss environmental, economic and social factors
- Provide a project description, details on benefits and costs of each practice, and information on operation, maintenance and public engagement.
Participants will visit the High School Park meadow, which helps to protect and provide Tookany Creek and its habitat, and stop by the rain garden at the High School Friends office. A trek through Arcadia University's Campus will display the school has integrated green infrastructure into this creekside campus. Each participant will receive a FREE guidebook with project specifics, as well as stormwater management information and resources. The tour will end at Arcadia University with a networking reception. RSVP by Friday, March 28 to Alex Cooper, Community Engagement Coordinator at Cooper@ttfwatershed.org or 215.744.1853
