Training Opportunities
We would love to work with you to conduct a training workshop for professional landscapers in your community. Contact us if you are interested in hosting a workshop.
Previous training opportunities for professional landscapers were built upon UNH Extensions’ Landscaping at the Water’s Edge curriculum and Landscaping for Water Quality curriculum and included design and installation of stormwater management practices suitable for small sites, such as rain gardens and dry wells, as well as drainage and site considerations. Materials from previous training are available here.
