Green Connections seeks to connect people with nature — not only by making it easier for people to visit parks and open spaces, but also by encouraging street designs that enhance urban ecology with elements such as native landscaping, stormwater plantings, and street trees.
Each guide includes:
A description of places along the route, including parks, schools, and neighborhood commercial districts.
A description of the route's Key Species or Habitat, and the important role it plays as part of the larger urban ecosystem.
Design and habitat considerations — what the Key Species or Key Habitat needs to thrive, including recommended plants.
Nesting information for the Key Species, where applicable.
