The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months agoJoy, have your Chapter Trustee or President check in with Liz at ASLA national and she can certainly help find appropriate speakers for you. Also, the ASLA Sustainable Design & Development PPN can help guide you as well. We have many talented speakers that can address many different aspects of this topic.

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months agoMy civil engineer handed me a brochure on the Filterra Bioretention System which appears to be a vault, filled with gravel, sand and a little peat moss that takes in and filters storm water. The vault is topped with a tree grate where you plant a plant from the recommended list provided by Filterra. Has anyone used this system? They recommend that…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months agoI agree with Heather about building a track record of using the SSI. It is through application in the real world that tools like the SSI show their strengths and value.

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months agoI am anxious to see the outcome of the pilot projects. I think the real world application and testing of Sites is of the upmost importance and we will learn a great deal from this process.
In order to continue building natural capital through the design construction and maintenance of regenerative systems, we need to see the application of…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 14 years, 9 months agoHi Heather! You and I have had many past conversations when you were in the trenches with SSI. So what are your current thoughts from your new perspective relative to what needs to happen to keep the SSI momentum going? Is practical application the key….or are there other issues that are just as critical?
You’ve been a great resource…..hope…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 15 years, 2 months agoYes, the meeting went great! Stacy summed it up pretty good. It was fantastic to have Dominique come in and talk with us about her experiences using SSI on a project. From our discussions, we know there are a lot of kinks in SSI (as one would expect) but my feeling from her was that the document works well in establishing that necessary baseline…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 15 years, 3 months agoI thought it was great – especially Dominique’s experience with SSI for Lenexa City Center project. Several of the pre-requisites were un-achievable on that one. Those points were very worthy, highlighted the critical importance of proper site selction and deemed certainly worth keeping central in the SSI focus, but totally screwd the pooch (so to…[Read more]

The Sustainable Sites Initiative 15 years, 3 months agoI’m glad to see someone else interested in SSI! I’m working on a children’s garden project for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We’re designing the project to the preliminary draft SSI credits in hopes to create a sustainable landscape project, test the credits and criteria and eventually hopefully become a pilot project.
