In this lecture, attendees will delve into two powerful green infrastructure solutions - bioswales and floating treatment wetlands. These nature-based tools work in harmony with the surrounding environment, leveraging ecology to restore and bolster water quality, reducing GHG emissions, and supporting wildlife.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of these systems, including their biomimicry design principles, practical applications, and environmental benefits. By exploring recent, local case studies, attendees will learn how to implement bioswales and floating treatment wetlands in various project settings while contributing to broader goals of sustainability and climate resilience. Special emphasis will be placed on how these systems benefit aquatic biodiversity, birds, and pollinators through thoughtful plant selection. Discover how to thrive in reciprocity with nature!
