SUMMARY:GreenScapes Symposium: Designing with Purpose (online)
DESCRIPTION:Whether a gardener living in the suburbs or a landscape architect developing commercial projects\, we all design with specific purposes in mind. This symposium will offer design strategies to achieve a range of goals\, from public gardens that engage diverse audiences to landscapes that reduce carbon footprints and are resilient to climate change. Speakers will also explore innovative design and maintenance practices that bring visual order to naturalistic gardens and make them more palatable to neighbors and HOAs. Though these landscape goals may seem unrelated\, they can all be achieved by selecting the right building materials\, understanding plant communities\, and leveraging creative plant combinations. \nFeatured topics and speakers include:\n• Quest for Climate Resiliency: Adaptive Strategies for Sustainable Plant Design – Laura Hansplant\, landscape architect and co-owner at Studio Sustena\n• On This Land: Connecting Minority Communities to the Natural World\nVeronica Tyson-Strait\, landscape designer\, educator\, artist and Horticulture Manager at Randall’s Island Park Alliance\n• Unlawning Suburbia: Lessons in the Design and Management of Nature-Inspired Landscapes – Benjamin Vogt\, Author & Owner\, Monarch Gardens\n• Soak it up: Carbon Sequestering Sites – Pamela Conrad\, landscape architect\, founder of Climate Positive Design\, and current Loeb Fellow\, Harvard Graduate School of Design \n5 CBLP CEUs

SUMMARY:BeaverCon 2022 Building Climate Resilience: A Nature-Based Approach (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:BeaverCON is a biennial\, international conference on the east coast of the United States for professionals\, researchers and practitioners to learn what works in beaver conflict management and watershed restoration. \nThis conference is for: \n\nStream and Beaver Restoration Professionals\nLand Use Managers\nEcologists\nEngineers\nRoad/Infrastructure Specialists​  \nClimate Change Experts and Policymakers\n\nIn recent years an increasing body of knowledge has demonstrated the many ecological and economic benefits of beaver\, as well as improved methods to partner with them to restore healthy streams and naturally combat climate change. Beaver-created wetlands improve water quality and storage\, mitigate flooding and droughts\, sequester carbon\, rebuild healthy streams and watersheds\, provide fire breaks\, increase biodiversity\, speed wildfire recovery\, and aid in the recovery of endangered and threatened species\, including salmon. To maximize these benefits we can and must coexist with beavers. \nProgressive stream restoration\, beaver restoration and management\, public policy\, and other presentation topics will be offered. \nYes\, you may count CBLP CEUs if you attend.
