MPCA, along with their contractors at LimnoTech and a diverse advisory team, drafted a booklet on green infrastructure for Minnesota communities. This booklet introduces green infrastructure principles, practices, and benefits by highlighting green infrastructure projects in and near Minnesota. We hope to inspire residents, communities, local governments, business leaders, and others to integrate more green infrastructure into their yards, commercial spaces, and public projects.
As of early October, 2025, MPCA graphic design, communications, and stormwater staff are completing edits to enhance accessibility, readability, and content. The booklet should be released later this fall. The format of the booklet is a pdf. Versions will be created for both online viewing and professional printing, so that the booklet may be made available offline as an outreach material. We plan to publish the booklet on this Manual webpage, along with a list of relevant links in and outside of the Manual.
A couple sneak peaks of booklet pages are included below. Note that these are draft and still being worked on by MPCA staff.
