The green roof industry is just a few decades old, as such there is still a lot of research to be done. Vital questions are being investigated at Columbia University such as how do birds use green roofs and which insects can you find?
-In some great green roof news, Nashville, Tennessee's city council is debating a green roof incentive program which would give residents $10 a square foot credit on their water and sewage bills for up to 60 months. The city has allocated $500,000 for the program, which is pretty good considering Nashville's population is about 600,000.
-Sunday I was at the Canadian National Exhibit in Toronto. In its 10th decade, this year attendees can feast their eyes on a green roof exhibit (in the Heritage Court, near the south entrance to the Ricoh Centre). Designed by Janet Ennamorato of Creative Garden Designs, I was on hand to spread the word. If you want to check it out, there are a few days left. If you can't make it, here are a few pics:
-The final item for today is an update on the raccoon issue. This stuff below we have used for a couple of weeks now. The plants seem to be okay with these pepper based product and it seems the raccoons have a new lavatory!
Ridder indeed!!!
