Stormwater, Land Use and Planning through NEMO: Non-point Education for Municipal and local Officials

Be part of a national stormwater network

The afternoon session will focus on the creation of NEMO Washington and joining 31 other states in this national network.

What is this national NEMO network?

The National NEMO Network is a confederation of programs in 31 states dedicated to protecting natural resources through better land use and planning. Each program is patterned after the original NEMO Program developed at the University of Connecticut, but adapted to reflect each state’s unique character, priorities, geography, and issues. These programs have joined together of their own accord to create a unique national network that is sharing information, educational methods and technical tools across state and agency lines.
