LAND
Ecological landscaping is a
way of thinking about and
caring for land, water, air,
plants and animals, with a
view to protecting and
restoring the natural
environment by using
native plants, managing
stormwater and reducing
maintenance among other
practices.
![Page 22: Corporations and Institutions Grow Back to Nature with CVC’s … · 2017-01-03 · Plant Lists Identify Funding Opportunities & Partners. Implementation: Assist With Consultant](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050307/5f6ff820af043b01c05738b9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WATER
Low Impact Development
(LID) is a green
infrastructure approach to
stormwater management
that uses or mimics natural
processes to filter, store,
infiltrate and use rain
where it falls in order to
protect water quality and
mitigate flooding.
