Green infrastructure working group

Puyallup Research & Extension Center opens their doors for a morning tour of the Washington Stormwater Center and salmon toxicology lab. The tour will be proceeded by a working session Thursday afternoon (post conference) that brings experts who are looking for opportunities of mutual benefit related to funding or the setting up of coordinating networks related to research and extension efforts associated with Green Infrastructure.

POST-CONFERENCE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WORKING GROUP:

Extend your visit to Seattle with an EXTRA day of immersive learning with half day working group session on Thursday, May 23rd, followed by a half day morning field trip on Friday, May 24th.

This experience consists of:

  • A half day working group session on Thursday, May 23rd (approximately 1pm-5pm)
  • AND a half day morning field trip to WSU Puyallup Research & Extension Center on Friday, May 24th (approximately 8:30am-2pm).

As you’re building your travel itinerary, please be sure that your flight departure and overnight accommodations coincide with the Friday field trip schedule (This may mean booking a 5pm or later Friday flight home or extending your overnight accommodations through Saturday morning).
