This page provides links to pages that address green infrastructure. We've particularly tried to identify pages that provide additional links to case studies, research work, and more.

General overview information

Recommended listserves

  • G3 Digest: "The G3 Digest" is designed to incorporate and disseminate information on sustainable products and practices related to sustainable transportation, green infrastructure, innovative storm water management, low impact development, context sensitive solutions, and innovations in transportation and community planning, economics, career development, policy, legislation and funding.
  • Deeproot

Websites with extensive information on green infrastructure

Green infrastructure manuals and guides

Delaware's Green Infrastructure Primer, published in 2016, is an excellent source of information on green infrastructure.

Papers on green infrastructure and sustainable stormwater management

Benefits and cost

Projects and case studies

Green infrastructure organizations and programs

  • Master Water Stewards Developed by the Freshwater Society, the master water stewards program is a volunteer education and outreach program. Stewards participate in a training curriculum and install green infrastructure practices.
  • Metro Blooms is a nonprofit organization that partners with property owners and many organizations to promote environmentally sound gardening and landscaping, including green infrastructure practices.
  • Blue Thumb is a public/private partnership that promotes ecologically functional landscapes – like native plants, raingardens, and shoreline stabilization projects – to reduce runoff and improve water quality.
  • Minnesota GreenStep Cities is a voluntary challenge, assistance and recognition program to help cities achieve their sustainability and quality-of-life goals.
