The City of Portland Environmental Services (BES) is once again offering FREE Ecoroof Seminars for Portland residents and professionals. The Ecoroof Seminars are two day-long technical workshops on ecoroof structure, design, construction, and permitting.

What's an ecoroof?
Ecoroofs are living, breathing, vegetated roof systems that provide a sustainable alternative to conventional roofing. Ecoroofs use thin, light weight soils, drought tolerant plants and require minimal irrigation and maintenance. They are part of a growing worldwide effort to promote sustainable development and improve watershed health and air quality. For more information about ecoroofs, visit www.portlandonline.com/ecoroof.
Who should attend the Seminars?
Anyone can attend the Ecoroof Seminars. The material covered, however, is ideal for:
- Practicing or aspiring professionals in the building development, design, construction, operations and maintenance fields interested in learning the fundamental and technical aspects of ecoroofs
- Property owners interested in installing an ecoroof and learning about incentives available through BES
- Community or trade organizations interested in expanding their involvement to include the ecoroof industry
- Real estate personnel wanting to expand their technical understanding of ecoroofs
- Teachers and students of sustainable development
