Stormwater Management
"Stormwater management is the effort to reduce runoff of rainwater or melted snow into streets, lawns and other sites and the improvement of water quality, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)." Forbs reduce air pollution, provide wildlife habitat, reduce regional temperature, and prevent soil erosin with their deep roots. This can help mitigate the predicted floods that will come with climate change as well as restore the natural water cycle. When choosing plants for your project, whether it be at your home, a public park, or for the city, make choices that help the environment and make these spaces more durable.
