The National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Committee is hosting a July 24 webinar on Transitioning From Gray To Green Infrastructure Using Urban Forestry from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.

Depleted and degraded water resources are driving communities to look for integrated natural-engineered systems for managing stormwater.

Natural and built environments can be reconfigured to restore hydrological and ecological functions, better support the water needs of the community, and help protect the health of people and the environment that sustains them.​

This program will introduce you to a free decision support tool, supported by the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Committee, which guides you through this process.

The presenter will be Robert Northrop, Extension Forester, University of Florida IFAS Extension.
