What the Community Green Infrastructure Program Funds
The Community Green Infrastructure Program (CGI) supports projects that bring green infrastructure into Oregon communities. This includes:
- Planting or building green infrastructure that benefits people and ecosystems
- Growing and supplying native plants and seeds
- Creating green infrastructure master plans
Green infrastructure consists of nature-based systems that increase community resilience by managing stormwater, reducing heat, restoring landscapes, and providing a wide array of other benefits. Examples of green infrastructure include trees, rain gardens, bioswales, and green roofs.
