Green Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the
term used to cover all the behind-the-scenes elements needed
to make the built environment (where people live and work) operate,
from power plants and police stations to sewers and schools.
Green infrastructure refers to the natural system's needs from
forest to wetland. Maintaining a healthy green infrastructure
keeps the natural environment working and the quality of life
in the built environment high. The Maryland Department of Natural
Resources has developed a green infrastructure map to indicate
where valuable elements of the natural system exist throughout
the state.
