Hi,

My project recently received the commets:

Hello, we have a project that is looking to acheieve SSc5 by signing a contract with a thrid-party conservationist. We have numbers from TNC but need required to collect 2 more quotes.

The performance period for our project is only 90 days.

Are there any exceptions to the LPE for this credit? Specifically, could a Certified Arborist with ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) www.isa-arbor.com-be used in place of a RLA?

Our client has a large portion of their lot with low-lying native grasses and shrubs that they maintain my mowing about once per year.

I have been wondering if land that is completely left alone, not watered, without any vegetation other than what one would find on cleared desert land, would count?

I am trying to understand how to account for native trees. I understand that we do not count the area of the canopy, but what is at ground level.

Hi Everyone According to 2009 version LEED reference guide there are two ways to calculate out native or adapted vegetation area.
