Landscaping for Property Value
March 18, 2010, 1-2pm EST
Studies conducted around the country confirm this, but any realtor will
tell you that trees can increase the value of a home. In fact, property
values of homes with trees in the landscape are 5-20% higher than
equivalent properties without trees and just adding a few trees can
increase the sales price of homes by 1% and speed the sale of a home by
four to six weeks.
Trainers:
Geoffrey Donovan, Research Forester, Pacific NW Research Station
Jane Fortune, Development Director, Tree Fresno
Green Solutions to Stormwater Management
April 1, 2010, 1-2pm EST
In
most cities, runoff from impervious surfaces like sidewalks,
driveways, and streets washes millions of gallons and tons of
trash, oil, animal waste, and other pollutants into city sewers. So on
multiple levels, stormwater management is a critical problem.
Trainers:
Howard Neukrug, City of Philadelphia
Dennis Lee, Executive Director, Project NEAT
Susan Pringle, Executive Director, UC Green
