Rain Garden Program - 2010 Activities
In 2010 the MOA Rain Garden Program worked with residents, schools, and local
business partners in the public and private sectors to support the construction of over
thirty new rain gardens in the municipality! For the last three years the program has
consistently doubled its participant involvement and rain garden incentive distribution
each year.
The program supported seven rain gardens in 2008, fifteen in 2009, and
thirty-one in 2010, for a grand total of fifty-three rain gardens incentivized.
The Rain
Garden Program has been offering incentives supported by grant funding from the US
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) beginning in 2007.
This year WMS won a grant from
USFWS to extend the incentive program to support all types of vegetated Low Impact
Development (LID) applications through November of 2012.
Of the thirty-one rain gardens constructed this year, there were six rain gardens
with a high level of community interest and involvement.
