An Overview and Introduction to the Green Communities Guide
Publisher/Sponsor: Land Stewardship Centre of Canada
Author: Ilnicki, Brian
Abstract: The Green Communities Guide was developed by the Land Stewardship Centre of Canada (LSCC) to help communities implement strategies to conserve water, protect water quality, conserve agricultural land, open spaces and wildlife habitat in Alberta’s built environment. The tools presented in the Guide were selected to address the key issues identified by planners and developers, from preliminary surveys and discussions. Tools were researched, described and accompanied by appropriate case studies to provide details on implementation as well as contact information. Through the Guide municipalities, planners, developers and builders will be informed about innovative approaches other communities are taking to avoid, mitigate, or reduce impacts that may, otherwise affect ecological processes and reduce the flow of goods and services.
