About GG Green Sites

The Groundwater Guardian (GG) Green Site program recognizes good stewards of groundwater by encouraging managers of highly-managed green spaces (golf courses, ball fields, education campuses, parks, etc.) to implement, measure, and document their groundwater-friendly practices related to chemical use, water use, pollution prevention, water quality, and environmental stewardship. More.

The Groundwater Guardian Green Site program has been made possible by funding from Cargill, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, Nebraska Environmental Trust, Kellogg Foundation, and US Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 Pollution Prevention Program.
