New Tool Launched by SF Environment

ReScape is honored to host San Francisco Department of Environment for two virtual 90-minute interactive training and discussion sessions on their Integrated Pest Management resource for landscape architects and managers: Pest Prevention by Design – Landscapes. The product of a two-year project led by the San Francisco Department of Environment, the guide is a compendium of tools for designing pests out of landscapes. Whether you’re looking for tips on rodent-proofing planters, finessing your use of mulch as a weed barrier, applying phytosanitation in habitat restoration, or planning landscape maintenance programs, this free guide has you covered.
