Community members are essential partners in green infrastructure planning and development, yet many projects fail to build the buy-in that helps projects succeed for the long-term.
Our community organizers, coalition builders, and strategic communicators build capacity and passion for local, representative community members to take a leadership role in their green infrastructure.

APPROACH
Trust Building. We authentically put community at the heart of green infrastructure planning, programs, and delivery to build and repair trust between utilities and the communities they serve.
Knowledge Sharing. A well-informed community builds public support for GSI investments, drives more thoughtful engagement in project design, and encourages long-term project stewardship.
Community Authorship. Community authorship is essential to the long-term success of a stormwater management strategy, reducing project risk and maximizing long-term performance.
Public Celebrations. Celebrating together encourages pride green infrastructure installations, ownership, and long-term project stewardship.
Storytelling. Public storytelling can increase the pride and feeling of ownership each community has for their project, but can also help inspire more communities to participate and support funding for community-driven green infrastructure.
