Green Infrastructure (GI) Workgroup
Green Infrastructure Workgroup
The Green Infrastructure (GI) Workgroup was created following the Regional Trees & Shade Summit held in March 2011. The Green Infrastructure Workgroup meets to discuss urban issues associated with trees and shade, structural shade, the urban canopy, stormwater management, and low-impact development (LID) techniques. The goal of the Workgroup is to standardize best practices in the area of urban forestry and expand knowledge of green infrastructure across the state of Arizona.
