The Green Values® Stormwater Toolbox was originally developed primarily for use by planners, engineers and other municipal staff. As a result, we’ve tried to err on the side of giving too much technical information. However, we recognize that individuals are also interested in the benefits of green infrastructure, both for individual sites and to influence public policy.
