WHAT IS A RESILIENT COMMUNITY?

They can do this by actively preparing for economic, social and environmental change. They most closely resemble the complexity of natural systems.
WHAT ARE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES?

We now recognize these core values as well as additional benefits such as recreation, economics, equity, and others.
