Quoit Club: Low Line Green

The Low Line Green, a 2021 Golden Hammer Award Winner in Placemaking, is the culmination of a multi-phase project to restore neglected green space along the James River and Kanawha Canal. The completed green revitalized 2.5 acres in Richmond’s urban core including active and passive storm water management, an outdoor classroom, irrigation for new plantings, improved lighting for safety, and an extensive park using native plantings and pollinators.

Not only does the LLG restore a sense of place to a once neglected area, it is improving the environment by: removing Nitrogen and Phosphorous from canal waters by diverting overhead runoff from I95 downspouts; restoring green space and replacing invasive species and hard packed dirt with native grasses, native plants and pollinator friendly plants; and stabilizing the canal bank.

Public landscapes like the LLG create community in ways nothing else can. Existing as beautiful, safe, welcoming places, they offer equitable and accessible gathering opportunities for all people. They foster connection: people to people and people to nature.
