Course Overview

Wednesday, February 16, 2022*

1 - 4:30 PM EDT

*This is the first of four Intensive Course dates and can be purchased individually or as part of the Full Bundle. This session is a recommended prerequisite for all other Intensive Course sessions. For more details see the Winter Series brochure or Full Bundle page below.

Presenter: Larry Weaner 

Our opening presentation will examine the vegetative patterns and ecological processes of spontaneous plant communities. Each characteristic will be followed by an example of its direct incorporation into a landscape project. Processes described will include disturbance, competition, vegetative pattern, ecological succession, and ecological stability. Ecological plant traits will include habitat fidelity, growth pattern, spatial and temporal niche, and proliferation strategies. 

Attendees will receive login-protected access to an extensive course manual including plant lists, an ecology-based plant characteristics chart, equipment recommendations, wildlife habitat enhancement strategies, diagrams for planting and maintenance procedures, and more.

Applicable Regions: Eastern and Midwestern US (Florida excluded).

Note: This course will have some repeated information from previous intensive design short courses.
