Las Mejores Prácticas de Manejo por parte de Las Industrias Verdes

This Spanish-language session of the Green Industries Best Management Practices training, offered by UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County in the Green Building at Twin Lakes Park, teaches landscaping practices meant to conserve and protect Florida's water. The course runs through seven modules, from an introduction and overview to landscape, irrigation, fertilizer, pesticide and a review of local ordinances. A post-test follows, and a score of 75 percent brings a University of Florida certificate by mail. The state requires that certificate of anyone seeking the Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Applicator license, and Sarasota County requires it of fertilizer applicators too; the class also suits lawn crews, designers, property managers and government staff.
