Join us to learn more about raingardens and how you can help protect Puget Sound from home. We’ll provide information on the benefits of raingardens, how to find raingardens and other forms of green infrastructure during your afternoon walks, and how you can build a raingarden while you’re stuck at home.
Raingardens, the most common form of green infrastructure, are bowl-shaped gardens designed to capture and filter polluted stormwater runoff. Green infrastructure helps reduce toxic pollution from entering our waterways and protects our communities, salmon, and orcas. Raingardens can be found throughout your neighborhood, even if you never realized it before.
COVD-19 has brought to light many of the inequities that exist in our society, the same inequities that climate change and pollution exploit. Everyone has the right to clean water and reducing stormwater pollution, the number one source of pollution to Puget Sound, is a step each one of us can take to provide clean water for all.
