Gain hands-on experience at this floodplain enhancement workshop and help restore Tanque Verde Creek's natural floodplain. WMG is partnering with the Lakes at Castle Rock Homeowner's Association on a project to enhance floodplain recharge from upland stormwater flows to benefit the creek and underlying shallow groundwater aquifer. You will learn approaches to reducing erosion and stormwater flooding impacts and how these efforts can actually improve water quality and water infiltration to benefit the overall riparian health of the area. You can expect to learn about earthworks and basin shaping, native seeding, and how to build rock grade control structures.

This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). Members work together to learn about and steward our creeks and rivers through creek walks, restoration activities, river clean-ups, and educational workshops. If you are not yet a member, we will add you to the RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
