OUR 2020 GOAL:
New natural infrastructure will start reducing stormwater pollution across our region, resulting in a cleaner, healthier Puget Sound. We will work with a greater diversity of people and partners to bring the benefits of nature home to more communities.
Year Two Highlights
80 organizations
have partnered with the new City Habitats networkβco-launched by the Conservancyβto solve stormwater through collaborative action on nature-based solutions and re-imagining our urban areas as good for clean water and healthy communities
6 schools
received βgarden grantsβ for students to create and maintain on-site raingardens, in conjunction with a supporting curriculum about stormwater runoff pollution developed by the Conservancyβs national Nature Works Everywhere program
9 experts
worked with us to explore our beta mapping tool designed to support decisions about where to build green infrastructure to naturally treat stormwater runoff pollution; additional discussions with potential users will help us tailor this tool to effectively prioritize stormwater investments.
