On Thursday, Dec. 7, community members gathered for the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust’s Annual Meeting to celebrate peatlands. Over 20 years of partnership between KHLT and the Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, coupled with the City of Homer’s enthusiasm for green infrastructure to manage stormwater, and community support to conserve carbon in peatlands, has resulted in a significant project to purchase peatlands along Kachemak Drive for conservation and nature-based solutions to manage stormwater runoff.

Progress continues to be made by the City of Homer with regard to the Kachemak Sponge Green Infrastructure Stormwater Management Project.

Homer city council passed three resolutions during their last regular meeting on Oct. 9 for the continuance of the Beluga Slough Green Infrastructure Project.
