Enhance and restore local green spaces and waterways.

Thriving communities depend on healthy green spaces and smart stormwater management. Parks, trees, and natural landscapes provide shade, improve air quality, filter stormwater, and create habitats for wildlife. Whether in cities, small towns, or rural areas, well-maintained public lands and effective stormwater solutions help communities stay resilient, reduce pollution, and stay connected to nature.

Conservation districts support these efforts by offering technical guidance, planning assistance, and volunteer opportunities to help enhance and restore local green spaces and waterways.
