EVERYBODY WINS WHEN FLORIDA’S
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IS PROTECTED
In Central Florida, which has plenty of waterways, but an elevation much higher than Florida’s coastal communities, a team of planners, developers, horticulturists, universities and nonprofits is looking at suburban building patterns that conserve land and water, while protecting nature and creating sustainable landscape practices.
The Outside
Collaborative, a proactive nonprofit group in Central Florida, promotes
resiliency subdivision by subdivision.
Knowing that the combination of rapid growth, chemical
runoff and saltwater infiltration threatens Florida’s sustainable freshwater
supply, the collaborative has created a pattern book filled with designs that
minimize or eliminate irrigation, fertilizer and pesticides.
