Kendra Ware, Saturday Class Program Chair, comments, “Join us at East Lake Park for a relaxing and informative saunter through a stunning native plant landscape led by Haley Hamblen, Water Quality Specialist and RainSmart Program Manager for the City of Chattanooga. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the beauty and benefits of native plants, while learning how they can help manage stormwater, reduce urban heat islands, sequester carbon, and support wildlife diversity. You'll also have the chance to learn about Chattanooga's RainSmart Rewards Program — a residential native plant reimbursement initiative designed to help homeowners incorporate native plants at home. Whether you're an environmental enthusiast or just curious about nature, this walk is an excellent way to discover how we can all contribute to a greener, more sustainable city. East Lake Park is handicapped accessible. We encourage participants to wear comfortable shoes and bring their own water.”
