Kevin and his wife Judy run MetroVerde, a plant-based biodiversity business. Their focus is restoring wildlife habitat to the urban core, ‘volumetric green’ as he refers to the vertical landscaping. Kevin’s undergrad is in biology with a focus in botany and he holds the Juris Doctor in law (environmental and land use). He worked for the USFWS while in law school on Endangered Species Act lawsuit data.
MetroVerde’s green roofs and living walls are designed for cyclone and hurricane impacted areas and designs center around native plants. MetroVerde was awarded the North Florida USGBC’s award for Innovation in Water Conservation and Landscape Design for the Villa Paraiso project.
Kevin writes a daily green roof blog, Living Green Roofs and Seeds For Green Roofs. He is a LEED BG+C and an ISA Certified Arborist & Municipal Specialist Arborist. Follow @kevinsonger on twitter
