Penn State Center is offering a series of afternoon workshops geared towards the specifics of sustainable site design.  The first set of workshops will individually focus on soils, vegetation, and water – information needed for future certification through U.S. Green Building Certification Institute. 

Landscape architects and engineers can earn three (3) Professional Development Hours (PDHs) per workshop.  Remember for landscape architects, up to  12 PDHs can be carried over to the next licensure period ending May 31, 2015.  Attend one or all the upcoming workshops taught by Penn State experts in their field.

The cost per workshop with lunch is $95, Students $50.
