Demand for a skilled workforce in our corner of the green economy is growing. We’re seeing more and more earth-friendly practices in our landscapes, like rain gardens and other strategies for managing stormwater and native plantings that protect pollinators. We need people to take care of them. The Sustainable Landcare Training program provides youth and young adults with job-ready skills to care for these practices in their communities and lays a foundation for next-step education and career pathways in environmental work. This is a paid learning experience; we want to remove barriers to participating in this training opportunity, especially in communities that could benefit most from this investment.

We also offer this program for people already working in the field. Are you or your staff required to inspect, report on, and maintain rain gardens and native plantings? You could benefit from this training. Please reach out with any questions.
