POWR Webinar: Opportunities, Challenges Of Green Parking Lots (Part 2)
April 12, 2023 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Join the PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR) and your watershed colleagues for one or both sessions of a two-part conversation about the benefits, challenges, and opportunities for creating green parking lots in your community
Across Pennsylvania, parking covers thousands of acres with impervious asphalt, contributing to the urban heat island, elevating temperatures in communities, impacting water quality, and creating stormwater runoff that degrades streams and rivers. They also detract from community character and affect pedestrian and driver safety.
Green parking lots can reverse those trends by creating a landscape that not only improves the aesthetics and safety of a site, but also intercepts stormwater runoff and allows infiltration, shades parked cars and paved surfaces, and helps to cool the surrounding environment.
POWR is continuing it's Meaningful Engagement with Local Government initiative with a FREE two-part learning series for watershed organization leaders, volunteers, and partners:
-- April 12 - Part 2 will focus on:
-- Developing municipal codes and ordinances and
-- Case studies of community and commercial green parking lots.
-- Click Here to register for Part 2 on April 12 from 6:00 – 7:30 PM
