Bringing innovative thinking to life

The wholesale revision of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual in 2006 was greeted with enthusiasm by clean water advocates. And yet the larger stakeholder community of municipal officials, engineers, and landscape designers responsible for implementing the Manual’s concepts needed convincing its ideas were viable. GreenTreks helped to make the Manual more accessible, fill the knowledge gap, and show from-the-field examples of how low impact development, green infrastructure, and smart agricultural activities could protect the Commonwealth’s water resources, improve community health, and grow local economies.
