The Metropolitan Washington Green Infrastructure Forums are designed to act as an information exchange on technical topics and disseminate information on issues pertaining to green infrastructure programs, initiatives and innovations locally, nationally and internationally.  They are part of a two-year Green Infrastructure Demonstration Project cosponsored by the National Park Service and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.  The project is

intended to demonstrate techniques for the conservation of forest cover, and the protection and management of park, recreation and open space land by local governments and private groups through the use of  green infrastructure approaches.
