On Nov. 20, 2014, in Charlottesville, Va., the Green Infrastructure Center will hold “Evaluating and Conserving Natural Assets: Planning for Green Infrastructure in the Developing and Urban Landscape.” This workshop is organized by the Green Infrastructure Center, a non-profit organization located in Charlottesville (online at http://www.gicinc.org/index.htm). “Green infrastructure” refers to natural landscape components–such as forests, waterways, wetlands, soils, organisms, etc.–that provide vital services to human communities and other living things. The Nov. 20 workshop will include presentations and hands-on exercises working with maps. No GIS knowledge is required to participate.
