RainScape Your Yard: Sessions 1 – Evaluating Stormwater Solutions for Home Landscapes
A RainScape is a landscape or design technique that helps reduce stormwater runoff from individual properties, including rain gardens, conservation landscapes, green roofs, and permeable pavements. The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection offers a rebate program for approved RainScape projects for homeowners. To be eligible for a rebate, participants must apply and be approved for installation based on a submitted plan before projects are installed.
In this online (Zoom) class, learn how environmentally friendly landscapes, such as conservation sites and rain gardens, can help manage stormwater issues on residential properties. We will review steps to planning a RainScape including site evaluation and determining the type and scale of project that best suits your needs. The class is open to anyone, regardless of applying for a RainScape rebate.
