The Penn State Extension Community Forestry Program will hold a webinar on July 18 from Noon to 1:00 p.m. on Green Infrastructure - A Lesson In Change.

Green Infrastructure has been elevated as means to an end for communities to deal with polluted runoff.  It has also been an agent of change in how urban foresters, engineers and landscape architects work together.

From a landscape architect’s perspective, join us in a journey of engagement and relationship building as we explore how past and present views on tree planting and design have merged, while cultivating more respect and understanding between three professions as they work to reclaim unused lands, address environmental justice and create livable biologically functioning places in cities and towns across the nation.

The presenter for this webinar will be Donna Foster, Landscape Architect, U.S. Forest Service, Northeastern Area State And Private Forestry.
