About This Course

When it comes to managing our water resources, conservation and proper land stewardship must always be at the forefront of our policies and practices.  Join expert, Pamela Berstler, as she discusses how we can sell water management and turn irrigation reductions and restrictions into opportunities for landscape professionals, as well as benefits for the landscapes themselves.

Learning Objectives

Re-imagine the landscape as we make Conservation a Way of Life.
Incorporate strategies such as very low water requirement planting palettes, changing from spray to drip irrigation, running sections of the landscape on rainwater alone, and creating permeable hardscape that doubles as water-catchment areas.

G3 is an award-winning EPA WaterSenseTM Partner and Professional Certifying Organization that educates and certifies property owners, policymakers, and landscape professionals throughout the U.S. and Canada in irrigation and rainwater capture using the Watershed Approach to landscaping.

Pamela spent a decade working as a landscape contractor with her own bespoke design/build firm specializing in innovations for sustainable cities. She didn’t come to landscapes and agriculture through a direct route, as she first took a detour through a career in derivative securities trading and raising private equity for technology and media companies. Pamela is deeply committed to the reinvigoration of American entrepreneurship through regenerative land management and agriculture.

Pamela is a 2019 Climate Reality Leader and is the recipient of many awards including the National APLD Sustainability Award, EPA Certifying Professional Organization of the Year, and Garden Communicators Association Green Medal in Sustainability.

Pamela incubated a love of gardening turning 40-year-old compost on her grandfather's urban farm and with her hands in the soil cultivating her mother's beloved tomato patch. And while she once loved the fast live, she now is returning to her roots, sharing her passion for growing family farm economic value and rebuilding rural comunities. Pamela is happiest in a garden and in front of an audience talking about the power of gardens to heal the planet.
