We are very excited to welcome green roof expert Paul Kephart to Portland this week. Mr. Kephart will join Wolfgang Ansel as a keynote speaker at Ecoroof Portland on Friday, March 18th. As the President of the Rana Creek Habitat Restoration in Carmel California, Mr. Kephart has applied his ecological design training on noteworthy large-scale architectural icons, including Gap Headquarters, California Academy of Sciences, and the Vancouver Convention Center.

His presentation, titled "Trends and Innovations for Green Roofs Today" will begin at 2pm on Friday, March 18th at Ecoroof Portland Exhibit Hall B Classrooms. In advance of Mr. Kephart's visit, we tracked down a great interview with him from 2006 on the website InHabitat:
