Landscape Scale Practitioners' Network

Cities and their regions as ecosystems Common vision Coalitions shape priority green infrastructure investments Collaboration and collective action

Other Metropolitan Greenspace Initiatives Columbia MO | Lufkin TX | Central Indiana Milwaukee WI | Nashville TN

Megaregions Need Nature Initiatives presenting at NWLLC Other selected Metropolitan Initiatives Regional Networks presenting at NWLLC

OPPORTUNITIES Green Infrastructure Network Design Regional Green Infrastructure Vision Ecosystem Services Climate Change Adaptation / Resiliency Re-Use of Vacant and Underutilized Lands An Agenda for Metropolitan & Landscape Conservation

A strategically planned and managed network of natural lands, working landscapes, and other open spaces that conserves ecosystem values and functions and provides associated benefits to human populations (Benedict & McMahon, 2006) Green Infrastructure – Linking Megaregions & Landscapes

Scales of Green Infrastructure Planning Downtown NashvilleNashville-Davidson County TN NiSource MSHCP

GI Network: Protect | Restore | Connect Cores: Contain fully functional natural ecosystems Provide high-quality habitat for native plants and animals Hubs: Slightly fragmented aggregations of core areas, plus contiguous natural cover Corridors: Link core areas together Allow animal movement and seed and pollen transfer between core areas Sites: Important microhabitats not captured by network thresholds and criteria Functional Connectivity

Ecological Capital Human well-being Material needs, health, security, social relations, “quality of life” Regulating Services Cultural experiences Supporting Products (Natural processes that maintain other ecosystem services) Ecosystem Services Adapted from 2010 Ecological Footprint Atlas GI Network: Mapping Nature’s Benefits

Green Infrastructure & Ecosystem Services Example: Houston-Galveston 13-County GI Network provides ~91% of benefits for water quality, air quality, water supply, flood protection, and carbon sequestration.

IMPACTS More extremes – temperature and precipitation Range shifts Disturbances - Floods, Wildfire, Insects, Disease Climate Change Adaptation / Resiliency OPPORTUNITIES Focus on multiple benefits and ‘no regrets’

 Income Generating  Urban Forest / Carbon Bank  Native Tree/Plant Nursery  Urban Agriculture  Greenhouse / Aquaponics  Alternative Energy  Compliance/Regulatory  Stream/Riparian Restoration  Constructed Wetland / Stormwater Park / Rain Garden  Phytoremediation  Impervious Surface Removal  Community Benefit  Pocket Park/Playground/Ball Courts  Recreational Trail Linkage  Native Plant / Habitat Garden  Community Garden Vacant Lands Green Infrastructure Typologies 14

Vacant and Underutilized Lands Example: Amigos de los Rios
