Event Calendar

Join Conservation Nebraska and Justin Evertson for an inspiring event focused on green infrastructure and its role in creating sustainable, resilient landscapes!

Discover how raingardens, bioswales, and bioretention plantings can transform urban and rural spaces by capturing and filtering stormwater, reducing runoff, and enhancing biodiversity. Learn about stormwater capture techniques that replenish groundwater, reduce flooding, and support healthy ecosystems. We’ll also explore water conservation strategies and low-input landscapes that minimize maintenance while maximizing ecological benefits.

Whether you’re a homeowner, landscaper, or community leader, this event will equip you with practical tools and knowledge to implement green infrastructure in your own projects. Together, we can build a greener, more sustainable future for Nebraska!
