Green Values Toolbox

A new web site gives everyone from city planners to concerned citizens helpful advice on how using nature-friendly methods of managing stormwater can save money and result in a cleaner environment.

The site covers the benefits of greenways, rain gardens, wetland restoration, trees, green roofs, swales, porous pavement and native landscape, and comes with a green values stormwater calculator that quantifies the reduced runoff pollution and cost.

Visit the Green Values Toolbox site.
