~Learn to how to
make your yard a pleasant space and help improve water quality~
The
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve will be hosting a bay friendly
landscaping workshop on Friday, September 30, 2016, from 1:00-3:30 pm. Yard design
and maintenance can have a big effect on adjacent water bodies. Participants in
the workshop will learn about resources to help them transform their yard into
a luscious bay conscious landscape. The class will also feature innovative
Green Infrastructure techniques such as rain gardens, green roofs, and
bio-swales.
Following
the discussion portion of the workshop participants will have the option, for a
small fee, to assemble their own rain barrel that they can take home. The
workshop will be held at the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve.
The class is free, but rain barrels are $20.00 per barrel. Please register for
the class in advance.
