Green Streets - Green Neighborhoods

Through Green Streets - Green Neighborhoods, WMG works with neighborhoods, homeowners' associations, businesses, institutions, and informal community groups to promote and install green infrastructure practices to improve community livability. Our program provides citizens with the skills and resources to problem-solve and take action on issues of flooding, stormwater pollution, urban heat island effect, alternative transportation, and neighborhood beautification in their own neighborhoods.

Green Streets Stewards Program – Apply by September 16!

This October and November, WMG will be offering a Green Streets Stewards program for volunteers interested in helping their neighborhoods develop and implement green infrastructure maintenance plans.  Participants will learn about effective approaches to neighborhood-driven landscape maintenance, conventional and alternative landscape maintenance practices, tree pruning and care, effective use of native plants and removal of invasives, and monitoring of soil and water quality in green infrastructure sites.

WMG to host Southwest green infrastructure conference in 2012

Arid LID 2012: Green Infrastructure and Low Impact Development in Arid Environments
March 27-29, Tucson, Arizona


For the past two years, the AridLID Workshops held in Albuquerque, NM have built a growing discussion and exposition of green infrastructure practices that are appropriate to the unique climates of the Southwestern U.S.  In 2012, WMG is hosting the conference in Tucson, AZ (with a live viewing in Albuquerque), with the twin goals of sharing best practices and building professional networks across a wider swath of the region, and of developing a clearer Southwestern vision and voice in the growing national discussion on green infrastructure.
