Larry Weaner - Planning for the Unplanned: Incorporating Ecological Restoration Techniques into the Practice of Lan

Sponsored By: Metro Hort Group

Built landscapes can become ecological contributors by providing wildlife habitat, controlling storm water runoff and reducing pollutants associated with fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and fossil fuel consumption. To illustrate some possibilities, Larry will follow several of his projects from conception to full establishment, including residential gardens, woodlands that combine new plantings with natural recruitment strategies, and native meadow installations Larry Weaner is a landscape consultant, author and lecturer based in Glenside, PA. He has developed and runs a national conference series, New Directions in the American Landscape, dedicated to the study of natural landscape creation and restoration.
