The Urban Conservation Unit (UCU) specializes in landscape irrigation and water conservation. As a result we're always working with different green industry products and personnel. In this context, the importance of good training comes into stark relief. Not only for us in terms of being able to educate others on the latest and greatest, but also for those whose system installations and retrofits we assess. Follow along with us as we engage local, regional and national players for their insight into the value of industry certification.

Special thanks to Spencer Phillips (Horizon); Lauren Morris, Eric Santos and Richard Restuccia (ValleyCrest Companies); Warren Gorowitz (Ewing Irrigation); Mike Baron (The Toro Company); and Brent Mecham (Irrigation Association) for their contribution to this production.
