Join us for a hands-on Participatory Mapping workshop! We would like community members like you to help us identify and map out Green Stormwater Solutions in your neighborhood. Your local knowledge is essential to help shape cleaner, greener, and more climate resilient spaces. This event is a part of study conducted by researchers at the University of Delaware. Find more information about the project here.
