Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Roundtable Printable Flyer

A CT Road Scholar Program Elective Workshop

Course Description:

Join us and our friends from the University of Connecticut’s Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) for a roundtable on Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) practices. We will delve into the low impact tools and methods that are being used to handle stormwater in a sustainable, less impactful way. During this roundtable there will be opportunities for Q&A and peer exchange to share successes and challenges faced during GSI implementation.

Additionally, attendees will take a tour of some of UConn’s GSI projects including pervious pavements, rain gardens, bioretention, and green roofs to learn more about construction, maintenance best practices, and lessons learned in building and maintaining these important structures over time. 

Who Should Attend:

• Directors of Public Works
