Proper maintenance of vegetated water quality facilities is vital to protecting our local river and streams and avoiding expensive repairs.
The Nature of Green Infrastructure online training, offered in both Spanish and English, is a cost-effective resource for landscape maintenance contractors, private property owners, and municipal staff looking to effectively inspect, maintain and ensure the compliance of vegetated water quality facilities.

Those who complete the course will be eligible to receive four continuing education hours from the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board, and to join Clean Water Services’ list of Preferred Landscape Maintenance Contractors.
