Today’s Menu: Green Infrastructure Maintenance in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

Thursday, July 9 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is increasingly being used throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed to improve water quality, reduce flooding, and create healthier, more resilient communities. But installing rain gardens, bioretention facilities, bioswales, and conservation landscapes is only the first step—long-term success depends on effective maintenance.

Join us for this free Today’s Menu webinar as we explore a new white paper developed by the Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and Hirschman Water & Environment. Funded through the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s Green Streets, Green Jobs, Green Towns (G3) Grant Program with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, this project gathered insights from practitioners across the region through surveys, focus groups, interviews, and case studies. The resulting resource examines common maintenance challenges and offers practical strategies to improve long-term performance, strengthen workforce capacity, reduce costs, and protect investments in green infrastructure. We’ll share key findings, lessons learned, and recommendations for designers, property owners, contractors, municipalities, and nonprofit partners.

There is no cost for this webinar, however, if you would like to make a donation we greatly appreciate it.
