The James River Association is working alongside Richmond Public Library, RVAH2O, and Four Winds Design to plan, design, and install green infrastructure practices that manage stormwater at library branches across the City of Richmond. Green infrastructure practices include rain gardens and street trees that enhance our built environment for the benefit of humans and the ecosystem of which we are a part. Green infrastructure contributes to healthier communities by capturing and filtering stormwater before it enters our rivers and streams and expanding tree canopy to reduce the urban heat island effect. It also provides habitat for wildlife living among us.
We are soliciting input on green infrastructure practices and outdoor amenities that could be installed at East End Branch Library from library users, stakeholders, and residents of Richmond's East End through. Please help us by completing this questionnaire by July 1, 2022.
