Course Description

This hands-on, 14-week course introduces students to the principles and practices of green infrastructure (GI) within the public works field.

Students will explore topics such as:

  • stormwater management
  • safety procedures on GI job sites
  • plant selection for sustainable design
  • material selection for infrastructure projects
  • site assessment techniques.

Through classroom instruction, off-site field experiences, and interactive labs, learners will develop the vocabulary, technical knowledge, and practical skills required to support environmentally responsible public infrastructure projects. The course culminates in the West Michigan Green Infrastructure Certification, is part of the Public Works Academy, and is designed to align with real-world work expectations, preparing students to contribute to ongoing regional restoration efforts and sustainable landscape construction projects.
