They have had the instruction to help them work with nature to reduce waste, conserve valuable resources, and prevent pollution – nurturing a landscape that is as healthy as it is beautiful!

Please note that we train and qualify individuals, not companies.  In order to be qualified, participants have attended all classes and have passed a final exam.  They have learned about the Bay-Friendly approach to Landscapes and have demonstrated their knowledge by passing an exam.  We do not verify the implementation of these practices.
