Thank you for your interest in the Puget Sound Low Impact Development Technical Workshops Series. The first series is now complete and we would like to thank everyone who made the series a possibility and a success. A second series without a doubt will happen and WSU is moving forward to do so, but before another series can be created additional funding is needed. Without the additional funding to help off-set expenses the workshops could not be offered at the reduced registration rate it has been. WSU is working on securing additional funds from supporters/sponsors in order to keep continuing the series in order to provide this valuable information at a reasonable cost. Once funding is secured or if the decision has been made to continue the series without additional funding information will be posted immediately regarding location, cost and registration as well as the continuing of the LID certificate program.
Please keep looking back to this website as updated information will be provided as it comes in. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to email Emily Houg at ehoug@wsu.edu. Thank you again and we hope to see you at the next series.
