Learn how to create a "Tennessee Smart Yard"
Presenting the program for our July association meeting is Dr. Andrea Ludwig, Associate Professor of Ecological Engineering in the Biosystems Engineering and Soil Department at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Ludwig is also the co-director of Tennessee Smart Yards, a sustainable landscaping educational program that seeks to certify private property across the state.
Residential areas are a significant part of our Tennessee landscapes and it is important to make residents a critical stakeholder group in watershed management strategies. The University of Tennessee Extension along with its partners is empowering residents with information on how to nurture a healthy, ecologically-sound landscape that provides benefits both for humans and our environment.
