Hugo: Planting for Clean Water – Wonderful Wetlands workshop

Do you live on or near a marsh or wetland?

During our “Wonderful Wetlands” workshop, we will talk about what makes wetlands special, unique plants and animals that are found in wetlands, invasive species, and rules that affect what landowners can and can’t do with wetlands on their properties.

Get advice on how to enhance your wetland yard with native plants and other landscaping features that add beauty, provide habitat, and help to protect water quality.

In addition, you’ll learn about resources to help you with water-friendly gardening projects, including:

·         Incentive grants

·         Free site visits

·         Garden designs and plant lists

·         Conservation plans for larger properties

Hosted by City of Hugo, Rice Creek Watershed District, and the East Metro Water Resource Education Program.
