Naturalists at the Ney: Saving Water in Urban Landscapes

Cory Ames, a Texas-based storyteller and educator exploring how cities and landscapes function together, looks at how urban homes and neighborhoods can better capture, slow, and reuse rainwater—right where it falls. Drawing from hands-on projects across Central Texas, this talk covers practical approaches to harvesting roof, yard, driveway, and street runoff to reduce flooding, support healthier landscapes, and build long-term water resilience. Attendees will leave with simple, actionable ways to see stormwater as an asset and work with their site’s natural flow instead of against it.
