September 21, 2018 PARK(ing) Day, 2018, in downtown Charleston, WV!
During Charleston’s first PARK(ing) Day, the Stormwater Department brought Green Infrastructure into our parking space. The mission of PARK(ing) Day is to call attention to the need for more open urban spaces, green spaces, and people spaces. Our space showcased types of green infrastructure that can be used in residential, commercial and municipal settings. Rain chains and rain barrels for rain water harvesting, indigenous plants and trees and an example of a miniature green roof. As Charleston continues to grow and development, we strive to include green infrastructure with our existing systems for stormwater management and pollution prevention.
