2012 Annual Meeting
How to Make Stormwater Work for you.
Please drop in and meet a group of selected contractors we have assembled that represent various solutions to collecting and using storm water from your roof or driveway, replanting your creek banks to help stop erosion and attract wildlife. Let us show you examples of rain gardens, how to use the rainwater from your roof to irrigate your plants or garden. See alternatives that will get the rain water back into the ground where it can nourish your plants. Do you have a stream on your property and flash floods are eating away at it? Come meet the experts that can help you find a solution either with appropriate plantings or more extensive stabilizing of the bank. Learn about green roofs.
Join the Watershed Alliance of Sandy Springs for its annual meeting. There will be a very short election of the board and then all are welcome to circulate and meet the vendors and look for solutions to your homes special needs.
