|
|
Anyone whose work deals with landscape design and management, recreation, community building or environmental issues will find a wealth of information on how a sustainable landscape can be environmentally friendly and a cost saver, during a one-day conference in Pittsburgh this November.
The Creating Sustainable Communities Conference, to take place on November 3, at Point Park University’s Lawrence Hall in downtown Pittsburgh, will offer attendees hands-on tools and ideas to manage and develop their lands and buildings in a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner.
Conference attendees will learn about natural stormwater management, planting green roofs and community gardens, connecting children with nature, and much more.
The day will feature well-known speakers including Tom Murphy, current Senior Fellow with the Urban Land Institute and former Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh. Breakout session tracks include local case studies, economic incentives, healthy communities, and stormwater management and green infrastructure.
The $30 registration fee covers breakfast, lunch and handouts. A free optional green roof tour and dessert reception will take place at the Allegheny County office building after the conference.
The conference is jointly sponsored by Point Park University, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, and Allegheny County.
Additional conference information and registration form are available online. Questions can be directed to Hannah Hardy at 412-481-9400 or by sending email to: hhardy@pecpa.org or Jessica Sprajcar at 717-214-7511 or by sending email to: jsprajcar@pa.gov.
