Green infrastructure lays the groundwork for sustainability and smart growth. Come and explore the many varieties of green infrastructure, from greenways and trails to green stormwater management, parks, farm and forest land, and wildlife habitats. Get an update on best practices and hear how cities and towns across the country have put them to work. You'll leave with the tools you need to cultivate green infrastructure in your community.

You'll learn about:

- Using green infrastructure for urban stormwater management
- Building green infrastructure into community and regional plans
- Using land-use regulations to enhance green infrastructure
- Fostering partnerships among governments, landowners, and nonprofits
- Creating green infrastructure through capital improvements programs
- Reaping green infrastructure's "triple bottom line" benefits

Partial CM credit is not available for participation of less than two full days.
