Happy World Green Roof Day!

World Green Roof Day is a celebration of green roofs all over the world and the many benefits they bring to people and nature. As we adapt to climate change and pursue healthier lifestyles, many communities are embracing green roofs and green infrastructure for all the benefits they provide.

At Omni Ecosystems we strive every day to integrate science and design into working landscapes to improve resiliency within the built environment and empower healthier, happier humans. We are particularly proud of our latest innovation, Omni Meadow and today we celebrate its special qualities.

Created in the true spirit of green infrastructure and customized by geographical region, Omni Meadow reintroduces nature into the built environment by recreating native meadows that once flourished where buildings now stand. The lightweight green roof with the most plant diversity on the market, the Omni Meadow includes a minimum of 30 species chosen for their functionality as well as their intrinsic beauty.

On World Green Roof Day we celebrate the amazing benefits vegetated roofs provide. Omni Meadows create a habitat for local and migratory species like birds and butterflies. Scaled across an area they can provide a corridor of beneficial habitats. They manage stormwater, helping to prevent flooding, overflows, and other water-related issues. Omni Meadows can extend roof life by providing an extra layer of protection from sun damage and extreme temperatures. Customized seed blends are available and can include edible plants. Benefits to the surrounding communities include a reduction of the Urban Heat Island Effect, improvement in air quality, and a decrease in noise pollution. An Omni Meadow is a long-term investment in a multi-functional green roof for this World Green Roof Day and many more to come.
