We are very excited to see this Green infrastructure installation coming along at N Claiborne and St Bernard Avenue. This project is led by @hcsnola designed by @danabrownassociates and construction is being done by @groundworknola. Construction of this project is being used as a workforce development training in partnership with @lagreencorps and @notepnola. This installation is allowing stormwater to be diverted from the street (in this case from N Claiborne Avenue). 35,000 gallons of stormwater can be managed at this site. That’s about 800 bathtubs full of water! This stormwater is diverted from entering the pumping system that is already overwhelmed. A bioswale with Louisiana native plants and trees will help manage this stormwater while creating other benefits-

Join us on December 4th at 10am-11:15am for a Green Infrastructure 101 Workshop that is open to the public (our first one back in person in COVID 😬). It will be held at the beautiful Audubon Nature Center on Lake Forest Blvd in New Orleans East 💚 families are welcome to join!

Today we are canvassing with the @groundworknola Green Team in the 7th Ward for trees with our #plant4peace Initiative! Check out the door hangers that the Green Team created! 💚💚💚

It’s maintenance day at the Tremé Center! The stormwater planter box got a good weeding and mulching. And it’s showing it’s beautiful colors (thanks to @npigno for providing more native plants to the site) ❤️ 💜 💛 💖 Green Infrastructure requires regular maintenance to ensure that it is functioning properly. That means weeding, removing trash and debris and adding mulch.

Youth 11-18, join us for our first-ever youth green infrastructure workshop! It’s developed and led by one of our youth Water Wise Neighborhood Champions. Come out for an interactive experience of how we can help reduce flooding and tackle climate change in our city and region.

Happy Wednesday 🌝 Water Wise Gulf South will be hosting an informational meeting about the Green Infrastructure Challenge for Westbank, Orleans Parish residents on Thursday October 28th at 5:30pm on zoom. This may be your shot at winning $5,000 worth of green infrastructure projects in your community! Register using the link in our bio. 💚
