The Nature-Based Exchange is holding a one-day training on how to use natural and nature-based solutions for urban stormwater management. Aimed at coastal practitioners who design, install, and plan for stormwater management (including, but not limited to, engineers, landscape designers, architects, developers, and planners), this training seeks to educate participants on existing stormwater management manuals and resources to expand the incorporation of nature-based designs in urban settings. Featuring coastal case studies and open discussion, this training will explore how existing manuals can be valuable tools in the planning and design process. Through this training, participants will leave with increased fluency and comfort in designing and implementing nature-based solutions for stormwater management projects. This course will cover the SCDES Stormwater Manual, the SC-LID Manual, and the stormwater design manuals from SOLOCO, the City of Charleston, and Horry County. Registration will open on February 4. (Space will be limited.)
