Partners
GreenInfrastructure.net was developed by The Conservation Fund with funding provided by USDA Cooperative Forestry and the Surdna Foundation.

 

Support also was provided by the Green Infrastructure Work Group, a collection of local, state and federal government agencies and non-governmental organizations that originally came together in August 1999 to begin developing a training program that would help communities and their partners make green infrastructure an integral part of local and regional plans and community decisions.
