My first summer of climbing and hiking reinforced my feeling that I had arrived in some kind of Paradise. Often I would sit on top of some peak in the North Cascades gazing in awe across its vast wild sweep of mountain-tops in every direction, and think to myself, “hey, I could climb one of these every week-end of my life and never know them all…oh what joy!”
This Low Impact Development (LID) Atlas was created for the National
Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) Network by the
Connecticut NEMO Program and the California Center for Water and Land
Use to highlight innovative LID practices around the country. Its goal
is to encourage and educate local officials and others about low impact
development practices by providing specific, local examples of their
use.
