A workshop about protecting shorelines returns to Powell River next month.
The qathet Regional District has announced the Green Shores Level 1 Workshop, an event where you’ll get to learn how to use nature-based solutions to protect the shoreline from coastal flooding and erosion while protecting habitats and ecosystems.
The free workshop will introduce you to basic shoreline ecosystem principles and management practices, with a focus on what threatens a shoreline, shoreline governance, and the Green Shores program.
The University of Victoria, who is running this event, say it’ll end with a group discussion on how to implement concepts and put what participants have learned into practice.
They hope by the end of the workshop, you can explain what makes these ecosystems valuable, identify examples of shoreline improvements, and outline responsibilities, among other goals.
They say you need to register for this event, with space only available for 20 participants.
The event runs in Powell River on July 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
