Township officials, landscape architects, planners, educators, park managers, and others – come see six great examples of ways to plan and manage land in a healthier, more environmentally friendly way while saving money!
The 2011 Sustainable Landscapes Bus Tour kicks off at 7:30 a.m. on June 23 at the Farm and Home Center in Lancaster with a continental breakfast and keynote presentations.
Two buses will then depart for sustainable sites around Lancaster County including: Schaeffer Elementary School, Warwick Township Building, Mummau Park, Santo Domingo development, Ethel Swan Park and Raymark (a former industrial site), and Brubaker Farm. These sites highlight native plantings, natural stormwater management, energy efficiencies, and more.
The bargain price of the bus tour is $25 which includes breakfast, lunch, a spot on the bus and handouts. Registration materials are available on the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources website.
This event is being organized by a Sustainable Lands Partnership, which consists of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, the Capital RC&D, Lancaster County Conservation District, Lancaster County Parks, Lancaster County Planning Commission, LandStudies, LIVE Green, the PA Landscape and Nursery Association, the PA Recreation and Park Society, and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission.
