Learn from 35 years of experience.

Successful urban trees and sustainable drainage depend on more than good intentions.

Soil, water, space, utilities, structure and long-term maintenance all influence how a scheme performs once it is built.

The GreenBlue Urban Academy brings these subjects together through practical courses designed to help professionals understand the principles behind successful green and blue infrastructure.

The focus is on knowledge that can be applied during planning, design, specification and delivery.
