Green infrastructure is a team effort, requiring buy-in from multiple agencies, partner organizations, and the public to leverage funding and sustained support through the planning, implementation, and maintenance phases.

A Green Infrastructure Case Study in the Three Bays Watershed Emma Gildesgame - Climate Adaptation Scientist, The Nature Conservancyīuilding Equity in Nature-Based Solutions in MA Communities (pdf) (4.65 MB).Perri Sheinbaum - Tufts Urban and Environmental Policy & Planning Student.Stefanie Covino - Program Manager, Blackstone Watershed Collaborative.Hillary King - Central MA Regional Coordinator, MA Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program.Gretchen Rabinkin - Executive Director, Boston Society of Landscape Architects.This webinar, featuring members of the MA Ecosystem Climate Adaptation Network (Mass ECAN) Mainstreaming Nature-Based Solutions Expert Work Group, showcases how Massachusetts programs and organizations are supporting equitable nature-based solutions at the local level. Equitable community engagement and participation is key to developing nature-based solutions that fully benefit local residents. Green infrastructure and nature-based solutions can protect water quality, build resiliency to heat waves, address flooding and other climate-exacerbated natural hazards, and improve overall quality of life in communities where they are implemented.

The New England Stormwater Retrofit Manual: Upgrading the Performance of your Stormwater Management System for Better Watershed Health (pdf) (9.57 MB)īuilding Equity into Nature-Based Solutions for Massachusetts Communities James Houle, University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center.The Stormwater Retrofit Guidance Manual was developed by the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center and VHB with financial support from the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Network and technical support from other SNEP Network partners, state agencies, and EPA Region 1. It also presents an approach for crediting pollutant and runoff volume reductions associated with these measures. The Stormwater Retrofit Guidance Manual, released July 2022, provides research-based guidance and techniques for planning, siting, and designing retrofit stormwater control measures (SCMs) to manage stormwater in existing or reconstructed development situations where regulatory requirements do not dictate specifications.

Several forms of green infrastructure can effectively reduce loads of total phosphorus to surface waters through the retention of particles and associated phosphorus, but retention of dissolved phosphorus has proven to be more challenging. Reducing phosphorus pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a primary goal in many watersheds across the United States to mitigate eutrophication and harmful algal blooms.
