SUMMARY:Maryland Climate Crisis and Environmental Justice Act Zoom Session
DESCRIPTION:The Town of Chevy Chase’s Climate & Environment Committee is hosting a Zoom webinar on February 3\, 2022 from 6:30-8:00PM to provide Town residents and other nearby communities and organizations with information about the Maryland Climate Crisis and Environmental Justice Act\, a bill that has been pre-filed for the 2022 Maryland legislative session.   Representatives from Climate XChange will update us on this important bill.  The Climate Crisis and Environmental Justice Act plans for our already changing climate by placing an incrementally rising fee on fossil fuel to send a market signal to businesses; reduce pollution; create revenue for vulnerable populations\, and build the infrastructure we need for a new green economy across the state including in our County and Town.  If you or someone you know is interested\, please use this link to register:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8rYrzt4AQ1yazeAOzVGPtw

SUMMARY:GreenScapes Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating day of presentations highlighting design strategies that make it easier and more effective to integrate native plants into a variety of landscapes. \nGardening for wildlife and designing landscapes that mimic nature are being embraced by homeowners and design professionals alike. But leveraging native plants for specific environments and design outcomes can often be challenging. \nObstacles can range from tough site conditions to urban gardens with limited space for creating beneficial ecosystems. How can we protect the function and structure of the natural ecology by substituting natives for invasive species? \nLearn exciting and novel uses of plants\, planting design\, and application of ecological principles to overcome these roadblocks and achieve high-impact\, environmentally sustainable designs. \nThis will be offered as a series of live online lectures using Zoom with audience Q&A incorporated into the program. Each session will be recorded and a link to watch the symposium will be emailed to all participants. \nCost: $45 per person until January 7\, 2022; $55 per person after January 8\, 2022
