Two Important upcoming green rooftop events: 1. One-Day Green Rooftops Conference on April 23 2. Green rooftop installation events at The Green Institute
***** 1. The Green Institute will co-host a day-long conference on green rooftops that will be held Friday, April 23 at the University of Minnesota's Ralph Rapson Hall. This event will be an opportunity to learn from local and national experts about the design and implementation of green roofs. Afternoon break-out sessions will allow participants to identify local research needs and obstacles to implementation. Input from participants at the workshop will be used to guide the development of the local municipality's research program to futher explore green roof technical performance and supportive policy options. The workshop will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. followed by a networking reception for all participants. Registration includes lunch, all materials, and the reception. Information and registration are available at www.greenroofs.org. ***** 2. We are also recruiting volunteers for the installation of a rooftop garden on the Phillips Eco-Enterprise Center in Minneapolis. This green rooftop will be an important model for using rooftop green space to increase building efficiency and to manage stormwater. The green rooftop will be visible to thousands of passengers daily on the Hiawatha LRT Line. Volunteer installation events are scheduled for April 24, May 8, May 15, and June 12.
