#2 Sustainable Landscapes

Jul 26, 2018

What does it take to have sustainable landscapes in our city? Does this mean removing all plants and putting rocks in our yards, or cutting down all the trees to save water? Heck no! Learn from experts in lawn care, utilities, and the city’s foresters.

Speakers:

  • Catherine Moravec, Water Conservation Specialist at Colorado Springs Utilities
  • Steve Moll, Owner of Clean Air Lawn Care
  • Dennis Will, Forestry Division of City of Colorado Springs Parks and Recreation

This was the July 2018 Sustainability in Progress presentation. Sustainability in Progress is a monthly program of the Peak Alliance for a Sustainable Future. Join us (free) the third Wednesday of every month 7:30-9:00 a.m. in the Wildcat Room at the Ivywild School. Coffee and pastries are provided.

Thanks to Clean Air Lawn Care for sponsoring July’s session.
