Many thanks to all who helped
to make our conference successful.
Nearly 200 participants were drawn to promote and learn about
sustainable landscaping practices. From organic lawn care to site-specific
stormwater management techniques, from tree preservation to sustainable
site design, this conference focused on innovative practices to improve
your business and the health of the environment and the Chesapeake Bay.
Keynote speaker John
Knott addressed the art and economics of natural
building.
Concurrent sessions covered designing and planning
communities; emerging profitability of green businesses; and "how-to"
workshops focusing on techniques and practices.
Closing speaker Rich Pais
explored how to work with developers to
preserve healthy environments.
The conference also featured an eco-marketplace and luncheon
networking opportunities.
The registration fee of $80 ($95 if postmarked after October 23) included
continental breakfast, sessions, lunch, ecco-marketplace, and an evening
reception (with cash bar).
