How We Do It
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL TRAININGS & DIRECTORY
Qualified Professional Trainings are offered to landscape professionals in the public and private sectors and who are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of commercial, civic and residential landscapes. Trainings are taught by subject-area experts who focus on ecologically-responsible, sustainable and regenerative landscaping practices that are aligned with the 8 ReScape Principles. Participants complete required courses, submit homework, and pass an exam to become a ReScape Qualified Professional.
The Qualified Professional Directory is a searchable database designed to connect clients with trained professionals. Training graduates have the option to be listed in the online Directory which is promoted to the general public and ReScape partners. Check our events calendar for upcoming trainings.
ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL SEMINARS
Advanced Professional Seminars dig deeper than the Qualified Professional Trainings and provide seasoned professionals and those newer to the field with up-to-date regenerative landscaping best practices. Local experts offer classroom-style lectures, hands-on training and technical support. Advanced Seminars address current issues such as climate change with regenerative landscaping solutions. Check our events calendar for upcoming seminars.
WATERSMART WORKSHOPS
WaterSmart Workshops offer local residents an opportunity to attend a community-based class focused on creating low-water use landscapes and stormwater pollution prevention. Industry experts give classroom presentations with hands-on experiences aimed at encouraging participants to adopt regenerative landscape practices at home. Check our events calendar for upcoming workshops.
RATED LANDSCAPES
Rated Landscapes are civic, commercial, institutional and multifamily property landscapes that integrate the 8 ReScape Principles to meet local landscape ordinances. Much of the Rated Landscape Scorecard aligns with or can contribute to earning credits in the GreenPoint Rated and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating systems. Having a Rated Landscape helps landowners comply with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) and stormwater requirements.
PARTNERS, MEMBERS & SPONSORS
Partners, members and sponsors are public agencies, nonprofits, businesses, home gardeners, landscape professionals and industry leaders who support ReScape’s mission. Partnerships run the gamut from collaborating on trainings and events to advocating for ReScape principles to underwriting programs. Current members are invited to attend the annual Regional Members Meetings plus special events and trainings.
