    Lebanon Valley College will sponsor this special event in celebration of Earth Month, and Larry will present his lecture, “Establishing Native Vegetation on Conserved Lands: Meadows, Shrublands, and Woodlands.”

    Once land is legally preserved from development, how can it be affordably and easily managed for ecological services as well visual character? By integrating ecological restoration techniques with cultural landscape preferences, land stewards can ensure properties have tangible value to community members while also possessing high-quality, resilient natural systems. Using case studies from both small and large settings, this lecture illustrates concrete, reliable management practices based on ecological principles, known cultural landscape preferences, and proven restoration techniques.

    Thoughtfully arranged native plantings can reduce maintenance, improve the environment, and enhance the beauty of any residential property. Achieving these goals however, requires a basic understanding of the patterns and processes that govern plants in the wild, and an effort to apply that understanding to a designed environment. Through a series of detailed case studies, including his own small suburban property, Larry will show how artistically composed native plant compositions can result in both ecologically healthy and experientially rich home landscapes.

    This series is VIRTUAL!
