Balboa Park Sustainability Walk-About is a Success

On November 15, the Sustainability Program hosted  the Balboa Park Sustainability Walk-About. Local leaders in environmental studies got a first hand look at the sustainable practices and ambitions of 5 museums, including the Park’s two LEED certified buildings: San Diego Natural History Museum and Reuben H.
