No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Karen Firehock, founder of the Green Infrastructure Center and author of Strategic Green Infrastructure Planning will present a new way of thinking about natural resources as green infrastructure. The book addresses the nuts and bolts of planning and preserving natural resources at a variety of scales—from dense urban environments to scenic rural landscapes. Based on applying green infrastructure principles to more than 20 communities, the webinar offers a practical guide to creating effective and well-crafted plans and then implementing them. Using the six-step process developed and field-tested by the Green Infrastructure Center, the webinar will demonstrate how community needs for clean air, clean water and healthy local food can be met by a green infrastructure-based strategy.
