How to Manage Stormwater: Q&A Session with Glen Waye Gardens

What does it take to reduce significant stormwater on a multifamily property? Join us for a Q&A with Glen Waye Gardens to find out!

October 29, 1:00 - 2:00 PM EDT
In this second Q&A session, we'll meet Vicki Vergagni, Property Manager at Glen Waye Gardens Condominium. Over the past 5 years, Glen Waye embarked on an ambitious journey to reduce the significant stormwater runoff on the property. Through the installation of cisterns, native reforestation and conservation landscapes, Glen Waye reduced the flow of stormwater on the property and beautified the complex. Not to mention the reduced runoff into local waterways!

Meet Environmental Leader Emily

Bethesda Green’s Environmental Leaders Program is an experiential school-year long sustainability program targeting high school students in their senior year currently offered for Montgomery County high schools. The training focuses on environmental stewardship and community engagement with local organizations and businesses.

Environmental Leaders Begin Clean Headwaters Program

In partnership with One Montgomery Green, Bethesda Green's Environmental Leaders will take part in the Clean Headwaters program. Over the course of six sessions, participants in the fall project will be doing hands-on community science to determine the extent of the plastics pollution in two Montgomery County streams. The program’s driving questions are 1) Is there plastic pollution (either macro or micro) in the stream visited, and 2) If plastic pollution is present, how can this problem be a) prevented, b) better managed, or c) reduced? Participants will collect data at a local stream in Sligo Creek and the Northwest Branch, do lab analysis of plastics, create action projects to explore possible solutions to the problem, and join in a community stream clean up.
