"It has always been my personal goal and the city’s goal to have Savannah serve as a model for providing education to all members of our community both local and regional on how to make the change to green.

"Our landowners and farmers have historically been the stewards of our land. Working with them to ensure their participation in the new green agenda is critical. Our partnership with SoGreen Network in providing the information and training through the "Greening The Southeast Summit" is one of the first step for the southeastern region."
