SUMMARY:NDAL- Ecology-based Design and Organic Practice at Glenstone Museum
DESCRIPTION:New Directions in the American Landscape Workshop: Ecology-based Design and Organic Practice at Glenstone Museum \nThe landscape at Glenstone\, a newly-constructed\, contemporary art museum in Potomac\, Maryland\, received the ASLA Honor Award in 2019. The property contains 90 acres of planted meadows\, shrub thickets\, and woodland glades that stretch from the property borders to the museum buildings. This organically planted and maintained landscape illustrates how landscape architects (Peter Walker Partners)\, native plant consultants (Larry Weaner Landscape Associates)\, and an in-house management team can collaborate in the service of ecology\, art\, and a stimulating visitor experience. The day will combine classroom instruction with a heavy dose of field observation to illustrate how this landscape went from landscape plans to vibrant reality. \nCEUs available: APLD\, 6 CBLP\, ISA\, LA CES\, NOFA\, SER \nQuestions? email info@ndal.org

SUMMARY:The Science of Salt: Improving Application Practices and Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:As winter approaches\, many of us are thinking about safety and that often means salt. But how much salt do we really need? And what happens when too much makes its way into our streams and rivers?\nJoin us for a virtual session that breaks down the newest research from the Pooled Monitoring Program and explores what smarter salt use can look like. We’ll talk about how salt moves through our environment\, how it builds up over time\, and what we can do to protect water quality while reducing ice and snow from hard surfaces.\nYou’ll walk away with a better understanding of:\n• The most common de-icing salts and how they’re typically used\n• Why salt levels are rising in our waterways and why it’s a problem\n• Practical ways to improve salt application during winter weather\n• How stormwater best management practices handle salt\n• Where to find more tools and resources after the webinar\n\n Location: Zoom\n Register: https://tinyurl.com/54hz6zb8\n\n1.5 CBLP CEUs

SUMMARY:Seeing the Forest and the Trees\, 37th Annual NDAL Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Seeing the Forest and the Trees\nDesigning Landscapes that Integrate\nRegional Specificity with Global Commonality\nIncorporating a region’s indigenous plant communities and ecological processes is at the heart of ecology-based design. But no natural system operates in isolation or is forever immune to change…..especially today where the effects of watershed alteration\, soil disturbance\, plant globalization\, and climate change are at play worldwide. Our Symposium will begin by zooming in on techniques for regionally-specific landscape analysis and design. We will then widen the lens and learn how disturbance\, ecological science\, and cultural land practices across regions can factor into those processes. Finally\, we will explore how an expansive view of landscape art can unify this micro/macro divide in landscapes ranging from expansive to intimate. \n  \n\n\nFounded in 1990 by Landscape Designer Larry Weaner and NDAL\, this annual two-day symposium has a long tradition of celebrating native plants and innovative ecological practice. Reflecting the diverse factors that shape our landscapes\, presenters include landscape architects\, landscape designers\, horticulturists\, ecologists\, historians\, anthropologists\, artists and others. The series offers in-depth explorations of forward-looking and overlooked topics\, always seeking to connect theory with practical application. Join us as we continue to connect the dots between ecological restoration\, cultural landscape practice\, and fine garden design.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere & When:\nKean University\, Union\, NJ (virtual options available)\nJan. 15 – 16\, 2026 | 9:00 – 5:00 PM ET \nThis Symposium will have applications for those practicing in any geographical location. \n\n12 CBLP CEUs available for this event

SUMMARY:Winter Salt Week Webinars: Freshwater Salinization
DESCRIPTION:Get the big-picture view of freshwater salinization and why it’s emerging as a critical water-quality challenge across the country. We’ll break down the major drivers\, the ecological and infrastructure impacts\, and the trends scientists are tracking in rivers\, lakes\, and groundwater. Then we’ll zoom in on a real-world case study from the Occoquan Reservoir\, where researchers and managers are grappling with the complex mix of land use\, weather patterns\, and human behavior that fuels rising chloride levels. This case will illustrate both the challenges and the practical management strategies communities can use to protect their drinking water supplies. \nPresenters \nDr. Stanley Grant is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech\, and Director of the Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Lab (OWML) in Northern Virginia. He studies pollutant fate and transport through aquatic systems. In 2020\, Stan and his team were awarded a $3.6M NSF-funded Growing Convergence Research grant to study novel approaches for managing inland freshwater salinization. \nDr. Megan Rippy is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at VT\, stationed at the Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Lab in northern Virginia. Her professional interests include 1) the effects of urban stormwater on aquatic ecosystems and public health\, 2) characterization and modeling of green infrastructure co-benefits and their social\, ecological\, and hydrological drivers and 3) urban water security (particularly during times of drought). She is currently working on extending ecosystem service valuation frameworks to include constructed urban greenspaces like green stormwater infrastructure\, and is part of a multi-university team working together to characterize how green infrastructure is perceived by the public\, and what drives those perceptions. Ecosystem Services Lab website. \n1 CBLP CEU
