Join GRiT (Green Roof information Think Tank) and GRHC (Green Roofs for Healthy Cities), for this one-day event featuring best practices for long-term, thriving green roofs. Keynote presenter, Dr. Vivek Shandas, will discuss how disparities in environmental quality affect diverse communities and how green roofs can address these. Green roof professionals, architects, and landscape architects will discuss approaches to successful green roof design and maintenance, including examples of their work of low-income housing. There will be time for networking, and a self-guided tour will provide opportunities to meet green roof design and maintenance professionals. CEU credits are available.
