Why sustainable landscaping is better for bees, buildings, and budgets

In the US, about 44 million acres of land are dedicated to lawns. Unfortunately, lawns do very little to boost biodiversity or contribute to the ecosystem. This means asset owners and managers are uniquely positioned to make a direct impact by opting for more sustainable landscape design.

In this webcast, you’ll learn:

  • What property managers and developers should do when thinking about landscaping
  • Why sustainable landscaping is the low-hanging fruit of your sustainability efforts
  • How the aesthetics of landscaping are changing
  • How we can and should practice conservation on personal property
  • Why you don't have to get rid of your lawn to do the right thing
