This spring, the federal government listed several species of salmon as endangered or threatened. Now our region is examining the best ways to safeguard them while maintaining a vital building industry. Sustainable building techniques, also known as green or environmental building strategies, can help revive our salmon runs. And putting salmon-friendly building techniques to work-even before regulations on development are finalized-could help position your business favorably. Join developers, contractors, architects, and industry leaders for a special seminar on building with salmon recovery in mind. For an entire day, you'll hear experts explain sustainable building techniques. You'll hear the newest information on how to: * Succeed using sustainable building practices. * Site and design your projects to keep streams healthy and groundwater clean. * Make smart wood choices for healthy forest and salmon habitat * Include energy-efficiency measures to reduce your customers' demand for hydroelectric power There will be sessions tailored for both residential/commercial design and construction. A panel discussion of builders and scientists will conclude the day. Space is limited, so please register now. For more information about the seminar topics please see below.
