Join together for a special Earth Day Event that celebrates the ancient French Broad River and features a panel that explores ways to
prepare for storm water from heavy rains induced by climate change, protect the French Broad River even as the river and region grow in popularity, and prosper from water-based economic development.
Recommendations of the Asheville Stormwater Task Force-- Our SW Ordinances and Budget Marshall Taylor, PE Blue Earth
Innovative Approaches to Green Infrastructure Jason Seickel, RLA Equinox Environmental
The Central Asheville Watershed Restoration Plan and Southside Project Renee Fortner, MS RiverLink
This gathering shares findings of the Asheville Stormwater Task Force, alternative approaches to management of human impacts, expected designations of some nearby river segments as impaired, and recent information about the value of the river and our watershed provided by the French Broad River Partnership.
Our focus on this Earth Day is on a city, a region, and an ancient river that many have worked to protect and improve. We continue to see population increases, rapid development and impacts of ongoing climate change. Unchecked, the result will be further degradation of the French Broad and reduced quality of life in the region. As our region grows in popularity, we must consider how not to love it to death!
Virtual attendees will receive a Zoom link via email prior to the event.
CASE Consultants International is pleased to co-sponsor this event.
