Clermont,
KY (December 11, 2007) ------ Despite the cold winter weather
and bare trees, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest just got
greener – environmentally greener to be exact. The U.S. Green
Building Council has awarded Bernheim with a LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certification for construction
of its Visitor Center. This is the highest level award one can
receive for green building practices and the first Platinum rating
awarded to a building in Kentucky or the surrounding region - Indiana,
Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee.“
