Environmental Justice

Our environment impacts the health and safety of our communities. Even in our seven square mile watershed, there are stark differences in prosperity, opportunity, health and safety for residents only a few blocks from each other.

To us, equity is not just about reducing the number and scope of environmental hazards such as flooding, air pollution and poor water quality, but also about a more equitable distribution of environmental benefits. We achieve this by providing access to nature, as well as promoting and maintaining a robust tree canopy, native landscapes and aesthetic value, along with other co-benefits of stormwater runoff reduction
