Increase urban forestry, trees, landscapes and other green infrastructure to reduce stormwater runoff and increase heat resilience and tree canopy. Expansion and management of Pala’s natural infrastructure such as healthy watersheds and soils can build local resilience by improving soil water-holding capacity and reducing flooding and erosion. PED is working with Tribal Services and Housing using grant funds to complete this strategy on an ongoing basis. Recent accomplishments include: habitat restoration, invasive plant abatement, and soil stabilization projects. PEDs will pursue additional grant funds to expand and complete this strategy.
