Gladys Valley Marine Studies Building at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, located at 2030 SE Marine Science Drive.

Sponsored by Lincoln County Master Gardener™ Association, Newledo Exploration Hub, OSU Sea Grant and Mid-Coast Water Conservation Consortium, this event aims to educate our community on innovative home and garden water-saving solutions and inspire collective action towards sustainable practices.

As water supplies become more limited in our county, it’s more important than ever to understand and implement effective strategies for conserving our most precious resource.

Our lineup of presentations includes:

• Rainwater Harvesting: Learn how to capture and utilize rainwater for irrigation and household use, to reduce your water bill and provide a backup water source in the summertime.
• Rain Gardens and Bioswales: Discover how these natural landscaping features can capture rainwater runoff while enhancing the beauty of your yard and promoting local biodiversity.
• Greywater Reuse: Find out how to recycle wastewater from baths, sinks, and washing machines for irrigation and other non-potable uses.
• Home Water Saving Solutions: Get expert tips on simple adjustments you can make in your home to save water every day, from installing water-efficient fixtures to landscaping with drought-resistant plants.

In addition to the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in discussions, ask questions, and receive valuable resources to help them implement water-saving practices in their homes and communities.

Admission is free, registration is not required, and beer and non-alcoholic refreshments will be provided.
