Standards for Organic Land Care: Practices for Design and Maintenance of Ecological Landscapes
|
The Organic Land Care Program of the CT and MA chapters of NOFA have made available the first comprehensive Standards for Organic Land Care. The Standards go far beyond how to grow an organic lawn. They present a philosophy of ecological stewardship in designing and maintaining landscapes. Over 60 pages long, the Standards are the result of more than two years' work by landscape professionals, scientists and citizen activists. The Organic Land Care Program was formed in 1999 to extend the vision and principles of organic agriculture to the care of the landscapes where most people live, work, and carry out their daily lives.
Copies of the Standards for Organic Land Care are available for $20 plus $3 shipping and handling. If you would like more than 9 copies, note that there is a price break - 10 or more copies cost $12.50 each plus $3 shipping. Please contact Bill Duesing at (203) 888-5146 or bduesing@cs.com if you would like to order in quantity.
