Join us for a Talkabout on Wednesday, March 20th at 7pm at Rocky Vista University to learn more about the City’s new relationship with Utah State Univerity’s Center for Water Efficient Landscaping and the resources being developed to support Ivins’ residents in reducing outdoor water use.
This conversation with residents will be led by Dr. Kelly Kopp. She is Director of the Center for Water Efficient Landscaping. Kelly specializes in drought tolerant vegetation, particularly grasses, and conversion techniques that can be used to move from a high water use landscape to one that uses much less.
She will show how their Center’s research is finding ways to save even more water while still creating functional, attractive landscapes and the benefits they provide (cooling, biofiltration, oxygen production).
I’m sure some residents know all there is to know about water-efficient landscaping. But maybe not. Are you really up on the latest research? Join us Wednesday and find out.
If you can’t attend in person, the Zoom address for the Talkabout is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85925946174.
Can you also join us at 3pm for a different discussion?
Join us at 3pm on Wednesday, March 20th at City Hall. Kelly and her team are working with the City to create a pilot program for communities statewide to develop and enforce their own residential irrigation standards.
