Green Infrastructure + Landscape Architects = Green Jobs?

Via ASLA Advocacy Network:

Landscape Architects Own Water.
Now Is the Time to Prove It!

Dear Colleagues,

Landscape architects are on the design front lines using green infrastructure technologies to address stormwater management issues in communities everywhere. Now it’s time to share your story. It was said recently that, “landscape architects own water”, now it’s time to step up and prove it. Submit your case studies today to ensure that landscape architects will continue to “own water” tomorrow.

EPA is seeking at least 300 of your green infrastructure/low impact development case studies to demonstrate the capacity and expertise on the ground to implement a new national stormwater management rule. To date we are well short of this goal.

The March 31st deadline is fast-approaching. Please take the time to help provide this critical data. There are powerful groups mobilizing to ensure this rule is either defeated or watered down. EPA is looking to landscape architects to prove that green infrastructure technologies are efficient and cost effective. Help provide the data and rationale for moving the country’s stormwater management infrastructure into the 21st Century.

CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR CASE STUDY.

Thank you for your efforts to help your communities and build the profession!

Sincerely,

Jonathan Mueller, FASLA
President, American Society of Landscape Architects
