There is a lot of pressure on our waterways but we can combat impacts if we work in the spaces we control to reduce our 40% turf grass, remove invasive species, plant native herbaceous and woody species and clean up litter.

There is a lot of pressure on our waterways but we can combat impacts if we work in the spaces we control to reduce our 40% turf grass, remove invasive species, plant native herbaceous and woody species and clean up litter. To learn more about what you can do, please see our Greenspace Implementation report.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/4WPO5q1t57k” disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Video” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” positioning=”none” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||45px||false|false” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_divider disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|off|off” admin_label=”sponsors desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
