GREEN ROOFS
Jennifer Bousselot
Tuesday, March 26, 7 p.m.
Presentation description:
Rooftops are often overlooked as available space in our landscapes. Green roof systems have been researched and evaluated over decades and are viable in climates all over the world, including Colorado. Green roofs are a waterwise and innovative way to bring more green space and biodiversity into our urban areas and can be used to conserve unique flora and therefore the pollinators that depend on them. Colorado green roofs will be featured - from concept to project completion and maintenance. Finally, we will discuss future possibilities for green roofs in our region.
About the speaker:
Jennifer Bousselot is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at Colorado State University and the outgoing Colorado Native Plant Society (CoNPS) Marketing and Events Coordinator. Jen completed her doctorate research studying green roof species selection, including Colorado native plants, at Colorado State University in 2010 and has remained active in green roof research since then. Jen was on the 2018 City of Denver Green Roof Task Force that helped implement the new green roof ordinance. She is a co-author of the CoNPS published 3rd edition of Common Southwestern Native Plants.
