Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES)
The Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™) is an interdisciplinary partnership led by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at The University of Texas at Austin and the United States Botanic Garden
to transform land development and management practices through the
nation’s first voluntary guidelines and rating system for sustainable
landscapes, with or without buildings. The guidelines and rating system
represent years of work by dozens of the country’s leading
sustainability experts, scientists, and design professionals and
incorporate public input from hundreds of individuals and dozens of
organizations to create this essential missing link in green design.
Major funding for the Sustainable Sites Initiative is provided by the
Meadows Foundation and Landscape Structures.
