Through the Watershed Education & Outreach program, efforts to improve water quality in Rockford include the implementation of a bioswale at Park-Er-Woods. A bioswale is a vegetated ditch that naturally filters and stores stormwater. To learn more about the project, visit the project page here.

Seeking volunteers to assist with native plant installations for a bioswale in Park-Er-Woods. Planting dates are currently being rescheduled. Please stay tuned for updates.
