Parks and Greenspace Conference - Early bird pricing ENDS 1/15!

Green Infrastructure: Natural management techniques that harvest, treat and utilize rainwater runoff in greenspaces such as parks, diverting water away from and reducing a need for traditional "gray" infrastructure (i.e., sewers and drainage pipes).

All over the country, communities and municipalities are implementing projects that leverage green infrastructure techniques to build innovative parks and greenspaces.

"Pipes to Parks" will highlight existing opportunities for green infrastructure development, inspire cooperation from diverse partners, and influence decision-makers to creatively solve infrastructure concerns while producing wonderful parks!

Featured Keynote speakers include: David Waggonner, Waggonner & Ball Architects; Kellie Rotunno, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District; and Brad Lancaster, 2013 Cox Conserves Hero.

The Parks and Greenspace Conference includes opportunities to experience "Pipes to Parks" first-hand through tours focused on green infrastructure. Tours begin March 6th, and registration is handled separately.
