Nature-based Solutions (NbS) provide many co-benefits. This session will explore how Devens is integrating NbS into all development projects through a combination of education, incentives, and regulations to further the sustainable redevelopment of this former military base. This session will also explore how Devens is using biometric tools to measure the impact of NbS on the subconscious, supporting the design of places and spaces for people first. The Apple Country Natural Climate Solutions Project and Ayer-Devens Pocket Forest Project will be featured as innovative and replicable tools that communities can use to help integrate the natural and built environment.
