EMBRACING SUSTAINABILITY IN AMENITY MANAGEMENT

BASIS has announced the launch of its new online course series, ‘The Principles of Sustainable Amenity Management’.

Developed in collaboration with key stakeholders, including esteemed former Amenity Forum Chair and current TurfPro contributor, John Moverley, BASIS says this self-paced, four-part course offers an in-depth exploration of essential topics such as policy, biodiversity, water and air pollution management, and integrated approaches. All modules are available via BASIS Classroom.

The course is divided into four key modules. Each module can be purchased individually, and participants who complete all four will receive access to a fifth module - a free online toolbox kit. This bonus module includes case studies, guides, and the opportunity to take a BASIS-certified assessment.

The organisers say by enrolling in this course, participants will gain essential knowledge and insights to advance their professional growth. 

The course will cover:

• Understanding Policy & Sustainability in the Amenity Sector
• Building Biodiversity for Amenity Environmental Management
• Managing Water and Air Pollution in the Amenity Environment
• Planning Integrated Approaches in Amenity Situations
• Sustainable Amenity Practice in Action - Case Studies, Assessments & Certification

Designed for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding and implementation of sustainable management practices, this course caters to a diverse audience, from seasoned industry veterans to newcomers, including landscape managers, groundskeepers, and environmental consultants. No previous experience or qualifications are required to complete this course."
