Connecticut Land Conservation Conference
Tentatively scheduled for March 22, 2025
Workshops
The Land Has a Story to Tell: Harnessing Human Creativity, Site Analytics, and Ecological Design to Weave Land Trust Missions and Sense of Place into the Spaces They Conserve
Join members of CT’s own New England Pollinator Gardens, LLC and Philadelphia’s ecological firm Refugia as they explore the process of creating award-winning residential, public and interpretive landscapes that reengage human connection to nature.
A short presentation followed by an open Q&A and panel discussion will guide participants through their creative process, entrepreneurial spirit, and ideas for engaging stakeholders, landowners, and the general public’s utilization of functional landscape design, immersive outdoor education opportunities, brand identity, and data-driven impact potentials and valuations.
