Society Of Organic Urban Land Care Professionals (SOUL)
SOUL, the Society for Organic Urban Land Care
This Standard was developed by the Society of Organic Urban Land Care
Professionals in response to the need for clear guidelines for the creation and
maintenance of landscapes for environmental, recreational and ornamental
reasons, following organic principles.
This Standards aims:
a) to provide a clear definition of the practices and products
employed in Organic Land Care;
b) to lay down the minimum requirements Certified Organic Land Care
Professionals must fulfill in the provision of Organic Land Care;
c) to provide guidance to the practitioners of Organic Land Care
in their decision making processes;
d) to raise the awareness of the ecological requirements of urban
landscapes;
e) to provide credibility for the Organic Land Care industry and to
protect the public from misleading practices and claims.
This Standard is not intended to provide all the information needed for successful
Organic Land Care. Such information must be obtained through formal education
and practical experience.
Standards for Organic Land Care: Practices for Design and Maintenance of Ecological Landscapes
The Organic Land Care Committee of the Connecticut and Massachusetts chapters of Northeast Organic Farming Association have made available the first comprehensive Standards for Organic Land Care. The Standards go far beyond how to grow an organic lawn. They present a philosophy of ecological stewardship in designing and maintaining landscapes. Over 60 pages long, the Standards are the result of more than two years' work by landscape professionals, scientists and citizen activists. The Organic Land Care Committee was formed in 1999 to extend the vision and principles of organic agriculture to the care of the landscapes where most people live, work, and carry out their daily lives.
Copies of the Standards for Organic Land Care are available for $20 plus $3 shipping and handling. If you would like more than 9 copies, note that there is a price break - 10 or more copies cost $12.50 each plus $3 shipping. Please contact Bill Duesing at (203) 888-5146 or bduesing@cs.com if you would like to order in quantity.
