Depave Your Yard Workshop – West Side Portland

About the event:

Join Depave for an engaging, hands-on workshop to learn how you can depave your own backyard.

The class will cover topics like: site assessment, project planning, cost estimation, permitting, tools, and various approaches for concrete (the most common driveway material in Portland). Workshop includes a short classroom session, followed by team-taught hands-on demonstrations in a real Portland backyard with too much pavement!

Participants will gain key tips and tricks to tackle projects in their own yards, resource referrals, and advising from experts. Coffee and pastries, plus a light lunch will be provided. Please wear long pants and closed toed shoes, and bring a folding camp chair if you have one. Tools, handouts and more will be provided.

This workshop is offered for free or a $25 donation!

This class is sponsored by West Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, and is part of WMSWCD’s fall Stormwater Stars workshop series.

Sign up for additional Stormwater Stars classes this November to help build a backyard raingarden where we’ve depaved, and/or to learn about native hedgerow planting, and how to replace lawn with vibrant native plants

Location will be provided upon registration.
