SUMMARY:Today’s Menu: Designing for Shade\, Runoff\, and Reality: Native Plants Under Solar Carports
DESCRIPTION:Thursday. March 5 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nHoward County is piloting native plant landscaping beneath solar carports at the East Columbia Campus to evaluate how native species perform in the unique conditions created by solar infrastructure. The project examines plant survival\, growth\, and maintenance under variable shade\, concentrated runoff at panel drip lines\, and cooler microclimates\, while also assessing benefits such as erosion control\, stormwater management\, and pollinator habitat. \nInitial plantings were installed in spring 2025\, with supplemental planting added in fall 2025 to replace species that did not survive based on early observations. As a first-year pilot\, the project is generating practical lessons that will inform future design\, species selection\, and maintenance strategies for integrating native landscapes into solar canopy installations across the county. \nJulie Costantino is a Sustainability Project Manager with Howard County Government\, where she manages the CleanScapes residential stormwater program and Howard County Bee City USA\, the County’s pollinator conservation program. She works on countywide native plant projects and nature-based climate solutions through the County’s Climate Action Plan\, with a focus on how landscapes can support watershed health\, wildlife habitat\, and climate resilience. Julie also serves on the board of the Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council. \nThere is no cost for this webinar\, however\, if you would like to make a donation we greatly appreciate it.  \n1CBLP CEU

SUMMARY:Deicing Salt: The Silent Killer of Urban Trees
DESCRIPTION:Deicing salt—most commonly sodium chloride—is essential for winter safety in northern climates\, but it can be devastating to urban trees. Each spring\, roadside plants often show the effects through leaf discoloration\, canopy loss\, and decline\, especially in dense communities where trees already face limited growing space. Because salt doesn’t break down or disappear\, it accumulates in soil\, damaging tree health and degrading the soil microbiome over time. \nUsing soil DNA sequencing\, researchers found that salt-tolerant “salt-loving” bacteria dominated tree wells where trees repeatedly failed and required frequent replanting. However\, a stormwater capture and release system that flushes or dilutes salt helped trees thrive for six years with no replacements\, and those harmful microbes were absent. This presentation highlights practical strategies for reducing salt damage through smarter water management. \n1 CEU/PDH approved by ISA\, LACES\, and CBLP. \nFree webinar offered by Green Industry Webinar.

SUMMARY:GreenScapes Symposium
DESCRIPTION:ntegrating Ecology\, Beauty and Adaptability in Design\nX \nFriday\, February 13\, 2026\, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST \n*Live Zoom Event \nX \nThriving landscapes that support wildlife\, enhance biodiversity\, and respond to environmental challenges require thoughtful design and tested practices. This engaging symposium brings together experts in horticulture\, ecology\, and design to share solutions that work—from small gardens to large public landscapes. \nLearn how native keystone plants and layered “soft landings” can support pollinators from canopy to ground\, and explore regenerative approaches that blend beauty\, function\, and biodiversity in every setting. Through illustrative real-world case studies\, you’ll discover how dynamic\, naturalistic plantings can adapt and thrive\, and how climate-resilient and diverse plant palettes can strengthen ecosystems in both urban and suburban environments. \nAttendees will gain practical tools for plant selection\, soil preparation\, and habitat design\, along with proven strategies for creating landscapes that actively support wildlife and the environment. Whether you’re tending a home garden or shaping public spaces\, this symposium provides the knowledge and solutions to design with purpose—and with the future in mind. \nLearn how native keystone plants and layered “soft landings” can support nments. \n*This will be offered as a series of live online lectures using Zoom with audience Q&A incorporated into the program.

SUMMARY:DMV Winter Salt Week Open House
DESCRIPTION:While salt keeps our roads safe during icy weather\, using more than needed comes at an expensive price to our waterways\, infrastructure and drinking water. Winter salt runs off the roads and becomes a permanent pollutant in our waterways. Only one teaspoon of road salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water\, and road salt is not filtered out of our public drinking water. Data compiled by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin shows a 10-fold increase in chloride (a chemical released from the breakdown of winter salt) in the Potomac River at Great Falls over the past 80 years. Twenty-eight streams in Maryland are considered impaired due to chloride. \nThe event:\nWhat: DMV Winter Salt Week Open House \nHosts: Izaak Walton League of America and partners \nWho’s invited: Media\, government officials\, NGOs and members of the public \nDate: Saturday\, January 31\, 2026 \nTime: 10am – 1pm EST \nWhere: Izaak Walton League of America Headquarters\, 707 Conservation Lane Gaithersburg\, MD 20878 \nAttendees can learn how to monitor water quality with Salt Watch after a short walk to our local stream\, Muddy Branch. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own water samples from home (either their tap water or water from a local stream\, pond\, or lake) in a clean sealed plastic or glass jar to test as well. There will also be an opportunity to see a smart salting demonstration led by Jason Swope from the Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council. \nSpeakers will include Watershed Restoration Planning Division Chief of Maryland Department of the Environment Greg Sandi\, Montgomery County Water Restoration Division Chief Amy Stevens\, General Manager/CEO of WSSC Water Kishia Powell\, and other conservation leaders.
