Rouge Friendly Landscaping: Native Plants for Better Water Quality
The Alliance of Rouge Communities sponsored several Workshops and Bus tours in 2009 regarding Native plants, naturalizing riparian corridors, green infrastructure, grow zones and rain gardens.
Workshops: Workshops showed what communities and neighbors are doing with native landscaping and native plants
to improve water quality, conserve water and creat habitat throughout the Rouge River Watershed.
Bus Tour: Tours included local parks, homes and areas of interest in the Rouge River Watershed.
This workshop is funded by the Alliance of Rouge Communities and in part by the Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project (U.S. EPA grants #XP995743-09). Funding, in part, courtesy of the Michigan Association of Environmental Professionals
