As APLD Sacramento District president from 2007 – 2009, Cheryl solidified a now long-established structure of service and relationship between APLD members and EcoLandscape California, a non-profit corporation with the mission to educate and advocate for ecologically-responsible landscapes. Her list of collaborations and accomplishments are many, including state agencies and nonprofit organizations like the California Water Efficiency Partnership’s Landscape Sub-Committee. She is truly a model for all of us to be involved in organizations, issues and education that promotes lasting and ambitious change for the betterment of our communities, landscapes, and lives.
