Cascading Benefits
In many regions of the nation and world, rainfall poses a particular, important challenge: polluted stormwater runoff. As we seek to address the challenge of improving water quality, we have an opportunity to use the innate qualities of nature to boost health and wellbeing. This report provides a new perspective that merges recent innovations: nature for water management and nature for human health.

Watch: The Power of Trees
New research shows that trees communicate with one another and share nutrients through their roots! They need each other.
In urban areas, trees also help us with health, economic and social benefits. They are part of our culture. We need them.
So, how can we return the favor?
