Description
USGBC Idaho and HP Inc. host a one day SITES Initiative® rating system workshop. You are invited to this in-depth and interactive training to learn about the SITES® rating system, join in a review and tour of the first registered SITES® project in the state of Idaho, and discuss the potential for other projects in the Northern Rockies.
Professionals from nearby states are encouraged to attend this regional workshop. The audience for the workshop includes professionals in ASLA, APA, AIA, USGBC, ULI, Parksmart professionals, turf and ornamental associations, as well as owners and designers of potential projects, municipal and university planning staff, parks department and grounds management professionals, sustainability directors and more. The landscaped and maintained spaces that surround our built environment play a huge role in shaping our daily experience and our impact on the environment. The design and maintenance of these areas has a direct connection to a myriad of professionals, to property owners, and to everyone who enjoys the aesthetics and ecosystem services they provide.
