Stacy Smith, Natural Resource Planner for the Whidbey Conservation District worked with The Highlands on getting Low Impact Development in place in the neighborhood. Now she's getting the word out about this year's in depth learning opportunity for those who want to, or need to know a lot about LID.
Washington State University's four week long Low Impact Development Technical Training Series starts in February. If you work in development or building you need to know about LID as more and more municipalities are adopting these methods.
Stacy attended the series last year, along with several Island County contractors and local municipality staff. Because of the popularity of the course they're able to offer it again. Stacy says this year's field components look really interesting due to the fact that the Puyallup WSU Extension campus is undergoing a major LID retrofit.
Register online. You can register for the full series or just one class.
Stacy Says:
"Puyallup is a long haul from Whidbey, but this training is really valuable and with all the new regulations just passed and in the works, it is strongly recommended." She invites interested parties to give her a call for more information 360-678-4708 or email her at stacy@whidbeycd.org.
