Mimicking Nature with Green Infrastructure

“Sometimes we engineer ourselves into problems when we don’t pay attention to the landscape. Our tendency to cover areas with impervious surfaces and restrict the movement of our rivers and lakes works against us, and it prevents nature from doing a lot of the hard work of infiltrating, moving, and storing water for us. We need to work more with natural systems versus against them,” writes Barbara Heitkamp, an outreach educator with the Lower St. Croix Watershed Partnership and East Metro Water Education Program.
