Our Mission: "To promote stormwater Best Management Practices
through research and education"

Rain Gardens are designed to collect snowmelt, rainwater runoff, absorb it and filter it before it enters the ground.

Rain Barrels are rain water banks where you can store water for a dry day and use to water the plants in your landscape.

Shoreland Buffers help protect water quality by slowing runoff, reducing erosion, and filtering nutrients that can cause excessive aquatic vegetation and algal blooms. They add beauty and diversity to the landscape, attract wildlife and can deter nuisance species like Canadian Geese.

Do you have a Rain Garden, Rain Barrel, or Shoreland Buffer?
