The first class was held Tuesday, December 10 at CPS Distributors in Westminster with 38 attendees from landscape companies and municipalities. The four-hour class is based on Sustainable Landscape Management: A Guide to More Sustainable Landscapes in Colorado by Janet Waibel, a manual offered by ALCC for those interested in conserving resources while maintaining the beauty of Colorado’s built landscapes. "The response to the initiative and to the new class schedule has been incredibly positive," noted Melissa Emdin, Programs & Education Director for ALCC. "A few companies have expressed interest in sending their entire staff to earn their certificates. I think this demonstrates the tremendous interest within our industry for more sustainable practices and resource conservation." At this date, seven training classes are scheduled for 2020. Professionals who earn the SLM certificate must recertify every two years with an exam. More information can be found at www.alcc.com/slm. Read more in this issue of Colorado Green NOW: |
