The Sustainable Landscape
A Responsible Approach for the 21st Century
Marie Stella, MA, MS, Landscape Historian
The development of a sustainable landscape addresses the needs of the community without negatively impacting the ability of future residents of the area to meet their needs. This lecture details the road we must take to restore our ecological systems.
This talk highlights innovative ways to use plant material to clean our air, soil and water.
This will help us understand how proactively we can help our towns and our own properties.
