Austin's wetlands play a critical role in protecting water quality in our creeks and lakes. The vegetated buffers surrounding them also preserve valuable greenspace while helping maintain functioning of the wetlands. In this class, participants will learn the history behind the value of wetlands and how and why staff works with developers to protect these valuable environmental features.
Topics include:
  • Identifying critical environmental features: What is a wetland and why are they beneficial?
  • Wetland protections in the Land Development Code: Applying Floodplain Modification rules
