Landscape Rating System for Sustainable Landscape Design

The Sustainable Sites Initiative has been launched by The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), The University of Texas at Austin's Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and the United States Botanic Garden. The U.S. Green Building Council is lending its support to this project and plans to adopt the Sustainable Sites metrics into its LEED system once they are finished.

The Sites Initiative will measure the sustainability of designed landscapes of all types, including public, commercial, and residential projects.
