In her presentation to River Network's 2008 Winter Training, Margo Farnsworth describes her organization's initiatives to promote low impact development programs and projects in the Nashville metro area. These programs include a volunteer restoration program to improve water quality, working with developers to promote "green" alternatives as ways of increasing profitability while benefiting the environment, and a local officials curriculum to promote ways in which officials can put forth ordinances that promote sustainability.
