Equitable Landscaping - Green Infrastructure Training for Latino Landscape Professionals

The Equitable Landscaping project focuses on providing culturally appropriate, Spanish-language training on stormwater runoff and green infrastructure skills to first-generation, Spanish-speaking Latino landscapers in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This project aims to address the lack of specialized training certificates available for Latino landscapers in the region, empowering these underrepresented and under-resourced professionals to gain knowledge and skills crucial to sustainable landscaping. 

The training program, developed in partnership with ecoLatinos and the EFC, delivers tailored education designed to enhance environmental stewardship and support career advancement in green infrastructure. EFC’s role includes serving as a technical advisor, providing strategic guidance, and assisting with data analysis, program design, and feedback synthesis.
