Land Ethics Symposium
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve presents its annual Land Ethics Symposium: Creative Approaches to Ecological Landscaping, which focuses on how to create low-maintenance, economical and ecologically balanced landscapes using native plants and restoration techniques. This daylong Symposium, typically held in mid-February, is geared toward professionals, including landscape architects, designers, contractors and other members of the landscape/horticulture industry, environmental consultants, land planners, managers and developers, and state/municipal officials. The Symposium features presentations by regional and national experts, opportunities to develop contacts with colleagues from the mid-Atlantic region and a selection of topical books for sale.
