Discover what a living roof is and what an amazing ecosystem it becomes — whether you want to install one or understand and appreciate their value!  Learn the ins and outs of what a living roof is during a ZOOM presentation Wednesday, March 17. at 7 pm. Janet Hall, former WSU Extension Island County Waste Wise Program coordinator, and her spouse, Nicole Luce, will lead you on the journey of what a living roof has to offer as wildlife habitat and protection of our natural resources. Janet and Nicole built their sustainable house in 2006. One important component was to install a living roof. The learning curve was steep but worth the effort. The presentation will discuss the benefits of green roofing, which include waste diversion, stormwater management, and energy efficiency.

This meeting will not be recorded for viewing afterwards, so we really hope you can join us live.

While passionate about forests during a career in the Pacific Northwest with the US Forest Service, her wonder of living on an island and her love and understanding of the Salish Sea and its fragile ecosystems has grown strong through active volunteering with the Beach Watchers/Sound Water Stewards of Island County, and similar organizations that educate and steward our maritime communities.

Before the Parks, she worked 20 years as an Environmental Educator and Volunteer Coordinator for WSU/Island County Waste Wise program.

Her living roof experience spans 10 years of research and five years of living with and maintaining a living roof.
