Submit your property for SCC’s Waterwise Landscapes Tour!

November 21, 2024  | By Shoal Creek Conservancy

Neighbors, we want to hear about your rain gardens and cisterns! In the spring of 2025, Shoal Creek Conservancy will be hosting our first-ever Waterwise Landscapes Tour, a yards tour open to the community to showcase outdoor spaces that have been thoughtfully designed to slow, capture, or filter rainwater. These yards will include a variety of types of Green Stormwater Infrastructure, including but not limited to rain gardens, rain barrels or cisterns, berm-and-swale systems, or even healthy riparian buffers.

If you live in, or nearby, the Shoal Creek Watershed, and your yard has at least one of these great waterwise features, we want to hear from you! Please get in touch by filling out the short form below. You can even nominate a friend or neighbor.
