This innovative system uses wetland plants and soils to improve water quality while reducing environmental impact.The tour will be led by Dr. Michael Burchell, Professor and Extension Specialist with NC State University. Dr. Burchell will share insights into how these systems are designed, how they function, and the benefits they provide to communities and the environment.We will meet at the Forsyth County Extension Office at 1:00 PM to carpool/caravan to the site. The group will return to the Extension Office at approximately 3:30 PM.To accommodate the space, registration is limited to the first 20 participants.A van will be available for carpooling. Please indicate during registration if you intend to carpool. We ask that you still meet at the Extension office if you are driving to the site, as it can be difficult to find.Questions?
