FEBRUARY PROGRAM TOPIC:
Living Roofs for Living Cities

On February 10th, Bruce Dvorak, a professor at Texas A&M University College of Architecture, will be discussing living roofs for living cities. Living roofs are vegetated rooftops (green roofs) that are designed to make cities more livable for people, plants, and animals. Green roofs reduce urban flooding, conserve energy use in buildings, protect waterproofing from hail damage and extend the life of the roof. This talk explores how native landscapes have become a source of inspiration for a new generation of green roofs that make habitats for pollinators, migratory birds, and more.
