We need green infrastructure to balance the gray. The term "green infrastructure" has been used to refer to everything from green roofs to more ecologically friendly stormwater management systems. But what is it really?
The Conservation Fund completed a Green Infrastructure Technical Report for the Kona Community Development Plan. The report provides a strategic framework for guiding land development and land conservation decision making within the North Kona and South Kona Planning Districts within the country of Hawai’i.
