This webinar is the 3rd in a series of free, on-going support for riparians following the ML&SA Conference in April 2017.
In Michigan, local communities have authority to require development standards that will lower the damage resulting from heavy rains and major storms. Adoption of many protections is the choice of local government. Do you want to know if your community has the needed protections, or if there is something more they could do? Do you have experience that you think has worked and you think could work elsewhere?
On Sept. 15, 2017, at 1:30 PM, The Adventures in Collective Water Management Network will be offering a forum to learn about local efforts for managing stormwater. This unique webinar format invites participants to contribute to the conversation. If you are inspired to help prevent future damage from storms in your local community, you will not want to miss this free online meeting.
