A Landowner's Guide to Urban and Suburban Streams

Urban and suburban streams pose special problems and questions for landowners.

Each workshop provides landowners with a general understanding of urban wildlife, flooding and drainage, mosquitoes and West Nile virus, the law, permits, ecological issues, how to work in and around streams without harming water quality and wildlife, when to call a professional, and how to get help.

Each workshop begins in a classroom and end with a trip to a nearby salmon stream.

Whether you have a project in mind or you just want to expand your knowledge, these workshops are a great way to get your questions answered in an informal, unintimidating setting.

Schedule

This workshop is available to any homeowners association and to groups of ten or more streamside property owners at no charge. Contact Surface Water Management to arrange time and location.
