The Fairfax County Stormwater Reforestation project is converting over 10 acres of county parkland from turf grass and invasive species dominated disturbed habitat to forest, utilizing innovative planting methods and locally native plant palettes to provide water and air quality, wildlife habitat and human quality of life benefits. The jurors felt that this project stood out thanks to the diversity of its plant community and high level of public accessibility. The succession approach to planting and long-term maintenance strategy were other outstanding components to this project.
