Landscape Transformation

The fourth episode of ‘It’s In Denver’s Nature’ is about landscape transformation and why embracing native and other low-water vegetation is imperative to the resilience of our city. In this episode, Denver Community Media member Dom Francois and Russ Sands, Section Chief of the Colorado Water Conservation Board join Denver Parks and Recreation’s Urban Ecology Supervisor and Asst. Director of Urban Ecology and Trails. The group discusses the Colorado Water Plan and how climate change and population growth increase the state’s water demands and the importance of maximizing the ecosystem benefits through climate-appropriate landscapes.
