The Sustainable Sites Initiative, developed by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center was created to promote sustainable land development and management practices that can apply to sites with and without buildings. The presentation shall give a general overview of the program, its connection to USGBC’s LEED ND rating system and will encourage the participation of Florida parks and recreation projects to take part in the Initiative.

Learning Outcomes
