Green Roof Evaluation at Shadow Wood Preserve
Monthly Feature Hosted By |

“There are many diverse and innovative projects that have been featured on Green Links, but this month’s case study is truly unique. Green Roofs are not new, but they are making a comeback and with this case study there is some great data on the benefits and specifications required for successful green roof projects. This case study is also an example of the synergy of cooperation between the Bonita Bay Group, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Johnson Engineering, Inc. combining their resources to reach a shared goal." |

"A building roof may seem a peculiar place to grow plants, but for Bonita Bay Group, the 2,400-square-foot green roof atop the golf course storage building at its Shadow Wood Preserve master-planned community is all about water quality, the environment, and finding new ways to protect the fragile ecosystem. Bonita Bay Group has a history of environmental stewardship, and the company’s golf courses, like their communities, are designed with these concepts in mind." |
