As we explain in our ABOUT, we are continuing the development of the cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993. Since early 2019 we have been drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.
Standards Michigan remains the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Minnesota will be accessible to “user-interest code-writers and vote-getters”; admittedly a rarefied and outmatched cohort.
Please send [email protected] a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest for #SmartCampus standards action in the State of Minnesota.
Sinclair Lewis was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he received in 1930. The Nobel Prize committee awarded Lewis the prize “for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humour, new types of characters.” Lewis was recognized for his critical portrayal of American society in his novels, which exposed the flaws and contradictions of the country’s culture and values. The award of the Nobel Prize cemented Lewis’s reputation as one of America’s greatest authors and helped to elevate the status of American literature on the world stage.

Federal regulations that apply to the landscaping of education communities are fairly stable; though land use issues tend to be capricious. Some federal regulations deal with fair trade in the purchase of landscaping materials; others deal with chemical safety; still others deal with personal protective equipment for works.
The federal government recognizes three major segments of this industry:
Landscape Design and Consultation
Landscape Installation and Maintenance
Tree Pruning and Arboriculture
For worker safety we consult the Occupational Safety and Health Administration home page:
Landscaping and Horticultural Services
From time to time we find Notices and Proposed Regulations — or notices of state-level adaptations of federal regulations — whistling across our radar. When they are meaningful and contribute to lower cost we will post the commenting opportunity.
The following voluntary American National Standards Institute (ANSI) titles may be applicable to the landscaping and horticultural units in education communities. Compliance with ANSI standards does not ensure compliance with OSHA policy, although the requirements of some ANSI standards have been adopted within OSHA standards. This list is provided for reference use only.
We maintain all related best practice literature on the standing agenda of our periodic Bucolia teleconferences during which time we sort through proposed regulations, organize a response to them. War stories always welcomed. Stories about successes even more welcomed. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting.
