Is your congregation experiencing standing water, flooding in parking lots, erosion, or outdoor spaces that have become difficult to maintain? 

You are not alone—and there are practical, nature-based solutions that can help transform these challenges into opportunities for restoration, resilience, and community care.

Through native habitat restoration, invasive species removal, and green infrastructure practices, congregations can help reduce flooding, improve water quality, strengthen local ecosystems, and create healthier, more beautiful gathering spaces for generations to come.

Join us on Tuesday, May 26 from 6:30-8:30pm for an upcoming Community Charrette focused on collaborative, on-the-ground solutions for stormwater resilience and native landscape restoration. This interactive gathering will bring together congregations, community members, environmental partners, and technical experts to explore how faith communities can reimagine underutilized or problem areas on their properties as spaces of beauty, biodiversity, and environmental healing.

Learn more about opportunities available through IPC's CBO-CBI grant program, which supports community-based partnerships and projects that advance resilience, restoration, and environmental stewardship in underserved and overburdened communities.

Come be part of the conversation—and discover how your congregation can help lead the way in restoring both land and community resilience. Light refreshments will be provided in addition to a virtual option for those unable to make this one of a kind event!
