SUMMARY:Pollinator Power Symposium (Hybrid Virtual and In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Pollinators play a crucial role in ecological survival. Neither humans nor earth’s terrestrial ecosystems could survive without them. Nearly 80% of the 1\,400 crop plants grown around the world – those that produce all of our food and industrial products –require pollination\, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). \nIn the morning\, learn about three indicator species–species that indicate the health of an environment. After lunch (included with in person registration) engage in breakout sessions on resources available locally\, then finish with a bringing-it-all back home final keynote. \nThis is a hybrid program.\nPresentations and participation are in person or online via Zoom. \nOnline: 3 CBLP CEUs \nIn Person: 5 CBLP CEUs

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: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
