The Center for Urban Watershed Resilience, Inc. operated for 25 years as an advocate and agent for the transformation of damaged and vulnerable sites into ecologically, economically, and socially viable amenities. The 501c3 charitable non-profit encouraged solutions that integrated natural resource management and infrastructure development to improve community resilience in the face of climate change.CUWR leveraged its talents through partnerships with communities and public agencies seeking support for concrete problems. To deliver solutions, CUWR engaged consultants and contractors selected for their expertise and commitment to sustainable innovation. CUWR collaborated with leaders in the fields of ecological engineering and infrastructure resilience to bring principles of green infrastructure to communities through projects large and small. CUWR often functioned as an early adopter of policy and technology to promote innovation. In this role, CUWR was responsible for over 60,000 acres of properties formerly owned by the DoD being transferred back to non-federal ownership after environmental requirements were addressed.Areas of interest included: Public Health (i.e., green infrastructure, pandemics and surface water contamination), Climate Resilience (i.e., improved awareness and preparedness, comprehensive planning and stakeholder-involved design, living shoreline measures, flood risk reduction with hard and green infrastructures), River and Coastal Corridors (i.e., riparian restoration, regional detention ponds, treatment wetlands, habitat enhancement), Site Repair (i.e., phytoremediation, renewable construction materials), Open Space (i.e., green space and greenways, recreation and natural science education, community gardens), and Policy & Compliance (natural resource zoning, stormwater utilities, decentralized wastewater treatment and reuse).
