About Groundwater Guardian (GG) Green Sites
The GG Green Site program recognizes good stewards of groundwater by encouraging managers of highly-managed green spaces (golf courses, ball fields, parks, etc.) to implement, measure, and document their groundwater-friendly practices.
The GG Green Site program is independent from the Groundwater Guardian program, and may be used to complement Groundwater Guardian teams’ protection efforts. More.
