With support from the City of Fayetteville, IRWP and Mount Sequoyah have partnered with FlowState LLC to implement stormwater management practices on their campus. This project will not only help manage runoff and enhance the landscape but will also feature a series of velocity-reducing drop structures and showcase some rare native species.

Project Details:
Volunteers will assist in the installation of:

• We will plant over 2,600 native grasses, sedges, flowers, trees, and shrubs

• A 1,000 sq. ft. bioswale

• A 6 stone cascading drop structures

• A modified two-stage ditch

These features will help increase soil infiltration, reduce stormwater runoff, and hold back water flows. They will also improve water quality, reduce flooding risk downstream, and create a thriving habitat for local wildlife.

Why Volunteer?

• Learn about green infrastructure and its role in sustainable stormwater management.

• Help restore and protect the local watershed, benefiting the entire community.

• Enjoy a hands-on opportunity to plant native species that support biodiversity.

• Meet other passionate individuals who care about environmental conservation.
