| Betty Gronsman is the Green Infrastructure Associate for Calvin University’s Plaster Creek Stewards. In this role, Betty works with the City of Grand Rapids to identify and permit spaces for urban green infrastructure projects. Her main focus is installation and maintenance of curb-cut rain gardens – spaces between the sidewalk and street that are excavated to capture stormwater that otherwise would travel down the street gutters and into the nearest storm drain. Plaster Creek Stewards has installed over 130 of these gardens in SE Grand Rapids and recent research has shown that along with capturing stormwater, these gardens significantly enhance insect biodiversity. |
