Please describe how your project will <br /> address these priorities. <br /> 1. Sustainable and resilient infrastructure. <br /> 2. Energy efficient, easy to maintain and recycled/recyclable materials. <br /> 3. Conservation of water use and the design of facilities to effectiv age storm water on site. <br /> The trails will use wood chips generated by the forest resto ojects as rce of <br /> affordable and resilient material and as an alternative to paved trails. Timber fo co truction <br /> of the overlook sites will only use material from an F certifie ource.
