Reducing the Footprint of Irrigated Landscapes in Florida’s Residential Developments
Wednesday, April 21, 2021, noon to 1:30
Residential landscape irrigation is becoming Florida’s single biggest user of potable water. In certain situations, developers have successfully reduced the number and extent of irrigation systems in their projects. This presentation reviews examples and considers how to facilitate a more widespread shift in Florida’s residential landscaping paradigm by reevaluating financial implications, focusing on soils management, and redeveloping our plant pallet. Presenters include Cherrylake President Timothee Sallin, and Pierce Jones, Nick Taylor and Jennison Kipp of the University of Florida’s Program for Resource Efficient Communities. They will share Florida case studies and explore options for promoting greater sustainability in residential landscaping.
This event has been approved for 1.5 AICP CM for planners (#9212157). 1 CEC for Certified Floodplain Managers, and 1 contact hour for Florida Environmental Health Professionals. 1000 Friends has applied for professional certification credits for Florida attorneys and Florida Landscape Architects (DBPR), but cannot guarantee they will be approved.
Additionally, this webinar qualifies for CE’s for Florida Water Star AP’s and Inspectors.
