“Managing Water Where It Falls”
The Rain Collection Webinar will include Chris Schultz (Senior Project Manager, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District) and Megan Högfeldt (Water Resources Specialist, City of Superior) discussing backyard practices that increase stormwater infiltration. Join to learn why rain collection is important, how to install a rain garden and rain barrel, and how these backyard practices benefit homeowners.
“Leaf-free Streets for Clean Waters”
Join Phil Gaebler (City of Madison) and Christal Campbell (Dane County Land and Water Resources Dept. and the Madison Area Municipal Stormwater Partnership) to learn how timely removal of street leaves before the rain can help keep our waters clean. They’ll share information on a recent U.S. Geological Survey study that evaluates how leaf collection and street cleaning can reduce nutrients to local waters and how partners in Dane County used the results to create a community engagement program to keep streets leaf-free before the storm.
