The City of Harrisonburg is committed to improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods and addressing traffic-related safety issues throughout the City.
In early 2019, Harrisonburg Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments began planting pollinator spaces that are creating a pollinator corridor through The Friendly City.
Environmental management in Harrisonburg includes the Environmental Action Plan, Stormwater Management, Harrisonburg Conservation Assistance Program, Urban Forestry, and the Harrisonburg Pollinator Program.
Through Harrisonburg's Urban Forestry Program, City staff work to increase tree canopy in Harrisonburg improving the air we breathe, reducing urban noise, filtering our water, helping control stormwater runoff, providing shade and habitat for a wide variety of living things, and enhancing the beauty our urban landscapes.
