1 Tulsa Area Rain Garden Project: Engaging Cities, Educating Volunteers, and Outreach to the General Public Cheryl Cheadle and Kevin Gustavson, Oklahoma Blue Thumb Richard Smith, INCOG
2 Blue Thumb: Volunteer Monitoring
3 Blue Thumb: Environmental Education
4 Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG): Regional Planning Organization in the Greater Tulsa Area. Green Country Stormwater Alliance (GCSA) 18 cities pool resources to handle national stormwater regulations.
5 Tulsa Area Rain Garden Project INCOG applied for an ARRA Grant (Federal Stimulus Package) needed green infrastructure component (longtime interest in promoting LID). Conservation Commission (OCC) unused 319 money (US EPA) ~$8,000 less than a year to spend the money on demonstration project or lost. OCC offered staff time of Project Coordinator, Kevin Gustavson, from their Blue Thumb Program.
6 Tulsa Area Rain Garden Project Initial idea: 1) build a handful of small demonstration rain gardens in the Tulsa Area.
7 Tulsa Area Rain Garden Project Initial idea: 2) Use GCSA to help find locations throughout the Tulsa Area
8 Initial Challenge Small budget: How to maximize our output? Free mulch? (City of Tulsa Greenwaste site) Free rocks and soil? Cities often have piles Free use of heavy equipment? Cities? Free labor? Volunteers / city labor?
9 Key to Success: Engaging Cities Met with GCSA Offered plants, educational signage, and expertise to build a rain garden in their city (as many as money allowed) IF they could provide: Construction equipment Soil, if needed Rocks Labor Access to volunteer groups Mulch
10 Engaging Cities Stormwater managers suggested locations Prioritized based on: Site conditions (soil type, slope, impact) Visibility Ability to provided requested contributions
11 Another Challenge Short timeline: EPA money needed to be spent by mid Best time to plant is fall. Solution: Buy materials in early 2010, build in the fall Found nurseries willing to receive money in summer and deliver our plants in fall. Contributions from cities became crucial for fall planting.
12 End Result Four large rain gardens. Each with educational signage. Five groups of volunteers involved. Four cities and one school district contributing labor, equipment, and materials. Educational outreach throughout and beyond Tulsa area at no cost through presentations, the media, and the internet. All for about $9,000 plus staff time. We bought plants, landscaping fabric and edging, signs.
13 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow Before: All parking lot runoff went to stream via stormdrain.
14 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow
15 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow City of Broken Arrow provided bobcat and 3 city workers to build. Scott Grant from Tulsa County Conservation District helped out.
16 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow Planting with Blue Thumb and Broken Arrow Beautification Committee Volunteers, and city staff.
17 All OK native plants
18 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow Curb will be cut to let water in after vegetation is better established late Spring 2012.
19 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow First significant rain after one of the hottest, driest, summers in recorded history.
20 Ray Harral Nature Center, Broken Arrow What the garden should look like next year.
21 Remington Elementary School, Tulsa School with an environmental theme, underprivileged kids Rain garden along new overflow parking lot.
22 Remington Elementary School, Tulsa
23 Remington Elementary School, Tulsa Tulsa County School District Backhoe and 3 workers Cleared grass (right) Hauled rocks and mulch (onsite) Soil amendment and berm construction (lower right) City of Tulsa Provided (and hauled in): - Soil - Mulch - Rocks
24 Remington Elementary School, Tulsa IBM Volunteers, United Way Day of Caring (a really hot day) Dug up remaining grass (missed by excavator). Built outlet structures Spread mulch
25 Remington Elementary School, Tulsa Elementary School kids, a few teachers and Blue Thumb Volunteers Each pupil planted one plant in the garden, with the help of Blue Thumb volunteers. Then Blue Thumb volunteers planted the rest the next day.

28 Remington Rain Garden August 2011 First big rain after a rough summer.
29 Sapulpa Aquatics Center Plan: Rain Garden in the swale.
30 Sapulpa Aquatics Center Planting Design: Jim Crosby Planning Design Group Slightly different plant list (more grasses), to tie in with Aquatic Center plantings. Still all native plants.
31 City of Sapulpa Sapulpa Aquatics Center Cleared grass Hauled in rocks, soil, and mulch Soil amendment Berm and outlet construction Installed edging
32 Sapulpa Aquatics Center Creek County Master Gardeners and City of Sapulpa staff Planted Garden Added mulch
33 Sapulpa Aquatics Center Plants were more mature than the other sites to begin with.
34 Sapulpa Aquatics Center August 2010 First big rain after a rough summer.
35 Bixby Athletic Center Roundabout
36 Bixby Athletic Center Roundabout Design: Bea Aamodt City of Bixby
37 Bixby Athletic Center Roundabout Construction and Planting: Fall Project was delayed contingent on other funding sources (underway now). All work completed by City Used remaining grant funds to purchase a majority of the plants, city purchasing the remainder. Grateful to Wild Things Nursery for taking care of the plants for an extra and very hot summer.
38 Education Signage One sign at each rain garden. Low cost signage from Oklahoma State University Sign Shop (paid on a different INCOG grant ~$1000)
