SUMMARY:Lewis Ginter Winter Symposium & CVNLA Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Remember how you felt the first time you encountered that beautiful plant that now is your always recommended favorite? What plants\, when displayed together\, make your heart beat faster and always stun you with their four seasons of unrivaled beauty? Where do you turn for that purposeful palette of form\, texture\, color\, and function—plants that also provide a full range of ecological benefits in a restorative landscape? On Wednesday and Thursday of this annual symposium\, explore with green industry colleagues ideas about how we bring plants together to create more purposeful designs that deliver ecologically sensitive and sublimely beautiful environments. \nUp to 6 CBLP CEUs are available for the conference.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Salt Dilemma: Growing Better Urban Trees in Northern Climates
DESCRIPTION:Can urban trees and city winter weather protocols peacefully co-exist? Join us for a discussion of the latest research findings related to successfully growing trees under these conditions. Dr. Andrew Millward will walk us through his investigation of the surprising decline and mortality of trees planted using soil cells in a recent urban revitalization project in Toronto. While the research led to salt\, there were a number of other factors. The project opened a discussion about changes to the way we design and manage urban trees. Adam Nicklin will offer options to reduce salt damage to trees\, and talk about the role landscape architects can play in helping the urban canopy thrive. \nPresented by: \nJames Urban\, FASLA\, Urban Tree + Soil \nAndrew Millward\, PhD\, Ryerson University \nAdam Nicklin\, PUBLIC WORK \nRegistration and connection details: https://treefund.org/webinars \n  \n1 CBLP CEU

SUMMARY:VSLD Winter Meeting: Stormwater Management- Calculations & Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:What do you do with too much water\, too quickly?  How much water is your site getting?  How do you manage all that water with grace and beauty? \nRain Gardens and other small-scale stormwater best management practices (BMPs) pose two major challenges in their design:  knowing how much water the site must handle\, and managing that water while still looking attractive. \nThe Virginia Society of Landscape Designers invites designers and other green industry professionals to participate in a day of lecture and guided exercises exploring the aesthetics and site analysis behind successful small-scale stormwater BMPs. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nDr. Eliza Pennypacker\,    Dr. Stuart Echols\nKeynote speakers; The Aesthetics of Stormwater Management\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Sonne\nCalculating Stormwater In-Flow\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirginia Rockwell\nTools for Analyzing Soils in the Field\n\n\n\n  \nIn addition\, those registering for the February 2 seminar are invited to participate in a tour (on Friday Feb. 1\, before the seminar) of a rain garden which will be used in exercises offered during the seminar.  Registrants will receive more information upon registration. \nBoxed lunch and light breakfast provided with registration \nCBLP CEUs will be available.

SUMMARY:Webinar: More Than Good Looks: How trees influence urban stormwater management in green infrastructure practices
DESCRIPTION:Subject to cancellation due to federal government shutdown. \nWhile green stormwater infrastructure increases in popularity\, we are still learning about the role of trees in these innovative practices. In this webinar\, Andrew Tirpak will discuss recent research results from studies designed to characterize the health of trees in bioretention practices and the benefits they provide to urban stormwater management. Lyn Rutherford will share observations from managing bioretention and detention ponds\, noting how design\, installation\, and maintenance practices affect tree health and water quality function. This information can help stormwater engineers\, urban foresters\, and landscape professionals be successful in integrating trees into stormwater management efforts. \nPresented by: \nAndrew Tirpak\, University of Tennessee \nLyn Rutherford\, City of Chattanooga\, TN \nFor more information: http://www.fs.fed.us/research/urban-webinars or contact the Urban Forest Technology & Science Delivery Team at urban@fs.fed.us with questions\, feedback\, requests for special accommodations\, speaker suggestions\, or to be added to the mailing list. \n1 CBLP CEU is available

SUMMARY:DESIGNING WITH INTENTIONALITY THE CHARLES F. GILLETTE FORUM ON LANDSCAPE DESIGN
DESCRIPTION:In this year’s Gillette Forum\, we gather to discuss our growing and altered understanding of how to shape the land to honor natural processes\, to create meaningful places that are healthy for humans and the natural world.  We act with intentionality to embrace and explore solutions to contemporary and social issues. \nLandscape architects and designers now see that actions once considered separate and apart from natural processes are anything but. The contemporary act of design gathers the multiple threads of diversity and applies process and creativity to make meaningful places. \n5 CBLP CEUs are available

SUMMARY:Tree ID for CBLPs
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED FOR THIS EVENT.  To be placed on a waiting list\, please contact beth@cblpro.org \n  \nThe morning is spent in the classroom working on our tree ID skills. We’ll go outdoors in the afternoon\, honing our ID skills in lovely Sandy Spring. \nWe’ll use a combination of lecture\, individual study\, and team activities to build our powers of observation and comparison\, on fresh samples of tree twigs and leaves. This is a beginners’ class\, designed to help people who’ve either never studied woody plant ID\, or who have studied it and it “didn’t stick\,” or those who would like a refresher.  Accordingly\, we’ll limit our focus to a dozen species\, but the reference book\, combined with skills you acquire in class will allow you to identify the majority of Maryland’s trees. \nRegistration includes a copy of the reference booklet: \nWatts\, M. T. (1963\, 1991\, Rev 1998). Tree Finder: A Manual for the Identification of Trees by their Leaves.  Nature Study Guild Publishers\, Rochester\, NY. (ISBN 978-0912550015) \nInstructor  \nDr. Sara Tangren (University of Maryland Extension) is a specialist in sustainable landscaping and native plants. Sara worked for many years as a certified forest stand delineator\, and has surveyed and developed conservation plans for hundreds of acres of Maryland forest.
