The Georgia Green Landscape Stewards Program<\/strong>, created by the University of Georgia Extension, is a certification program for businesses and residences in Georgia.
Our goal is to provide fact-based information to clientele and help them implement sustainable green practices in their landscape. Georgia landowners have a large impact on natural resources, such as water, wildlife, and native plants. With sustainable land management practices, we can help protect these natural resources for generations to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Georgia Green Landscape Stewards certification program provides educational resources that teach Georgians about protecting natural resources, increasing plant and animal biodiversity, conserving soil and water, providing wildlife and pollinator habitat, and improving public and environmental health. After learning about sustainable land management practices, participants can measure their own activities with the program metric scorecard and earn certification status for their landscape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the satisfaction of contributing to natural resource protection, Georgia Green Landscape certification includes an option for participants to purchase an attractive yard sign to designate their property as a sustainably managed Georgia landscape. This program encourages Georgians to adopt more environmentally friendly practices and consider how their land use activities can complement the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
