What Is Green Growth?
The Green Growth Toolbox is a technical assistance program designed to help communities conserve high quality habitats as communities and developers continue to build new homes, workplaces, and shopping centers.
The toolbox will help your community plan for growth in a way that will conserve your natural assets—fish, wildlife, plants, streams, forests, fields, and wetlands.
Resources of the Green Growth Toolbox

The Green Growth Toolbox Handbook is a comprehensive guide to support local government staff and community members in understanding how concepts from conservation science and data resources can be applied to local and regional planning initiatives through policy and plan-making, ordinance development, and development review processes. The handbook is updated annually.
