Savannah, GA (June 25, 2013) - The Landings on Savannah’s Skidaway Island recently became the first community in Georgia to join Audubon International’s Sustainable Communities Program.

The Sustainable Communities Program helps communities tackle those challenges and plan for change in a way that fosters a vibrant local economy while maintaining a healthy environment and high quality of life. This is the concept of sustainability, which Audubon International views as the foundation for quality communities of today and tomorrow.

By joining and participating in the Sustainable Communities Program, The Landings becomes one of the private sector member of the program. There are three stages in the multi-year certification process, during which The Landings will complete an assessment, define a long-term community vision, choose sustainability indicators as a mechanism for fostering action and measuring success, and implement its plan. The plan covers 15 focus areas, and members must choose timelines and measurable goals. After completing a vision plan and reporting progress on chosen goals, members of Audubon International’s Sustainable Communities Program are eligible for certification and designation as an Audubon International Sustainable Community, which recognizes dedication to the process of becoming a sustainable community.
