The Sustainable Landscapes Education Program


The Sustainable Landscapes program aims to give homeowners and community property managers the tools to have aesthetically pleasing, low maintenance, environmentally friendly landscapes. Visit our pages to learn why rain barrels are important, visit our Demonstration Sites, or learn what makes a landscape sustainable.

What is does sustainable even mean? Sustainability isn't just about going green! It's a balance between environmental, economic, and social aspects of issues. Visit The University of Oregon's Sustainable Living Project to learn more.
