Greening the Bronx: Clean, Capture and Soak-In Rain
Greening the Bronx with Green Infrastructure is a simple way to clean our water, capture it before it wears out our streets, from flooding or freezing, and help any rainfall/snow to soak into the land, lawns, and flowering rain gardens.
 
Protecting Land and Shores with Green Infrastructure, is an approved nature-based management practice. 

Kindly respond that you will attend (especially if you plan on eating the light meal) to rsvp@bceq.org your name, phone#, and affiliation.  Check our web page for more detailed information and changes to the program.

HELP TURN FORT INDEPENDENCE PARK INTO A SPONGE

Enter the Park into Sponge Contest by sending an email to parkintosponge@bceq.org with your name, phone, & affiliation or if it is school project, your professor/teacher. Provide a short description of your ideas and the method of your presentation.  You will be expected to give a 5-minute talk on the design.

Be the City’s imagination and prepare Green Infrastructure drawings based on the photos of runoff damage supplied in the registration packet.

Or use your own park and take your own photos and prepare GI to turn your Park into a Sponge.

Bring your final exhibit, on either a poster, power point, or storyboard to the meeting (set up is 5 pm on April 10).
