Furbish innovates and develops living systems, primarily green roofs and green walls, to benefit the built environment. We deploy natural systems, which make economic sense for every building, to improve our health and the environment. Much of our work involves measuring ecological processes and their benefits, which we attempt to do with rigor and discipline and respect for the scientific process. We are committed to accurately portraying environmental benefits, versus "greenwashing." We value third-party verification and scrutiny, such as through our partnerships with University of Maryland, The Center for Watershed Protection, and Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
