Green roof training online manual/guide is now live here. This saturday will be our first green roof training session where the new guide will be given to the delegates. As the guide is now an online manual and not a pdf delegates will have access to what we hope will be a small green roof community across the globe.. The workshop is being run by myself and John Little on behalf of the London Wildlife Trust’s, Lost Effra Project.

Green Infrastructure for Living with Water
The workshop is part of the Lost Effra Projects ‘Living with Water series. Even small green DIY green roofs can make a significant impact on reducing flooding in flash flood hotspots. Therefore they are a form of green infrastructure that the public can deliver.
