About the Event
Carmen Vidal-Hallett will discuss Bioswales and perennial plants that should be used in the tunnels that are designed for stormwater runoff. Carmen has worked with various city governments and world governments (Brazil, Spain) in urban development and planning of sustainable rain gardens and other stormwater management projects. Locally, you may be familiar with the rain garden Sullivan HS students created under her guidance with AfterSchool Matters.
