Phytotechnology is the strategic use of plants to provide ecosystem services and solve environmental challenges in managed landscapes. This year’s conference will focus on plant-based solutions for both stormwater and wastewater challenges. This topic is of critical and growing importance to the way we manage and protect our water resources locally, regionally, and globally. Our keynote speakers are all world experts in water and ecology. The rest of our speaker line-up is just as exciting, covering everything from research to practical application.
Please visit the website (listed below) for the full agenda and registration information. The first two days March 30th & 31st are packed with presentations. On April 1st take your pick of three great workshops including: Green Roof Design 101 – an introductory course by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities, A full day Rain Garden Workshop, or a Tour of Local Constructed Treatment Wetlands.
