The Environmental Stewardship & Management Initiative was launched by Audubon International to help foster environmental stewardship and improve resource management by a wide range of people.
Utilizing Wetlands for Stormwater Management
Wetlands are a natural solution to offset impacts caused by development. They uptake nutrients, improve water quality, increase evapotranspiration, provide wildlife habitat, increase biological diversity, and are aesthetically pleasing. Engineers are taking advantage of this natural BMP, and are using existing wetlands or creating new wetlands for stormwater management.
