Fall Successes and Spring Opportunities for Stormwater Stars (and You!)

This fall, Stormwater Stars hosted three hands-on workshops, and they were a huge success! We couldn’t have done it without our amazing volunteers and the incredible support from Eco City Landscaping. Thank you for helping us make a difference.

Across three neighborhoods, we planted over 350 native plants in the Tryon and Fanno Creek Watershedswatershed an area of land that channels rainfall, snowmelt, and runoff into a common body of water, such as a nearby lake or river. Multiple streams can be part of the same watershed area, such as the Tryon Creek Watershed which is fed by Oak Creek, Park Creek, Falling Creek, and others. and transformed more than 1,800 square feet of landscape. These improvements help soak up rainwater, reduce runoff, and create healthier, more resilient spaces for our community.

Looking Ahead: Spring 2026 Workshops

Our fall workshops have wrapped up, now we are scouting potential locations for next season (and beyond). Do you know of a publicly visible space where we could demonstrate Stormwater Stars practices? For residential sites, we typically look for areas around 600 to 700 square feet, while community sites can be slightly larger.
