Landscape designers who successfully employ an ecology-based approach typically draw from a variety of sources. The inextricable link between people and ecology only increases the need to broaden the investigative lens. Join us as we explore the integration of "ecology-based" design with "people-based" factors, including the lingering effects of historic land use and the need to accommodate diverse cultural perspectives on the meaning of "ecology."

This program is geared toward landscape professionals in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions.
