Hi,

My project recently received the commets:

Hello, we have a project that is looking to acheieve SSc5 by signing a contract with a thrid-party conservationist. We have numbers from TNC but need required to collect 2 more quotes.

The performance period for our project is only 90 days.

I am trying to understand how to account for native trees. I understand that we do not count the area of the canopy, but what is at ground level.

Hi Everyone According to 2009 version LEED reference guide there are two ways to calculate out native or adapted vegetation area.

Hi, Need your suggestion and expertise on this inquiry? We do have a land which we manage and maintain, this land is covered with native vegetation and is not within the project LEED boundary.

We are thinking of organizing an annual service project to remove invasive species in a nearby park to comply with SSc5.

The deck is not under a roof overhang. It is raised above the ground a foot or so, and I believe there is grass underneath.

Does installing a vertical wall in building facade or interior contribute to this credit? I assume that doing so will also promoting biodiversity.
