Webinar Description:
Nature provides us with many services, from wildlife habitat to recreation opportunities. But beyond its intrinsic value, nature also provides measurable benefits to humans in the form of nature-based solutions to some of our most pressing environmental problems, including climate change. In this webinar, Mass Audubon will present a case for green infrastructure focused on the financial and health benefits of natural areas. We will share a new project on the Value of Nature, namely a set of five fact sheets on the value that Forests, Coastal areas, Wetlands & Waterways, Grasslands & Farmland, and Urban Green Space provide to people, and a new report on the economic importance of natural resources in the Narragansett Bay Watershed. We will describe examples of the use of green infrastructure vs. traditional infrastructure in local communities, focusing on the cost savings opportunities of using nature first. Lastly, we will share other economic resources available to communities to help support the use of green infrastructure.

Webinar Description:
This training is intended for technical professionals involved with the siting, design, implementation, permitting, and regulation for effective stormwater management using green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI).  The course emphasizes understanding the basic principles of stormwater management design while advancing the state-of-practice. While the bulk of the practice has not embraced advanced GI stormwater management practices, the design leadership in professional associations, federal state and local regulatory bodies, and national research council’s effectively have.
