We’ll start this event with an introduction to the recently released Puget Sound Urban Tree Canopy and Stormwater Management Handbook, which brought together urban forestry and stormwater professionals to investigate stormwater solutions through urban tree canopies. Each participant will receive a hard copy to take home!

Then we’ll see stormwater solutions in action with a tour of a recently completed green stormwater infrastructure project in a residential neighborhood. Renton’s urban forester, project manager, and surface water utility staff will share the journey to this successful implementation and discuss the importance of embarking on green stormwater infrastructure with interdepartmental collaboration.
