Green Spaces
Green spaces are areas of natural or planted vegetation in urban and suburban environments, such as parks, gardens, forests, and greenways. These spaces provide environmental, social, and economic benefits by improving air quality, reducing heat, supporting biodiversity, and offering recreational opportunities.
In the Tri-Cities, green spaces contribute to sustainability by helping manage stormwater, reducing urban heat islands, and enhancing community well-being. They also support local wildlife and create attractive, livable spaces that encourage outdoor activities and social interaction.
