Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, Jersey Water Works, and NJ Sea Grant Consortium are hosting three different training sessions for their Green Infrastructure Champions program!

The second workshop is titled: “Moving from planning to implementation of green infrastructure”.

The various components of green infrastructure planning will be discussed including tools that can be used to help prepare these plans. The implementation of green infrastructure projects that have been identified through the planning process will be the main focus of this workshop. Leveraging existing projects, building partnerships, writing grants and project costs will be discussed. Lessons learned during implementation will also be covered .

Green Infrastructure Champions are key players in implementing green infrastructure as a stormwater management approach, town by town.
