Aug. 8: Advancing Climate Resiliency in Pennsylvania

August 6, 2023 / / Comments Off on Aug. 8: Advancing Climate Resiliency in Pennsylvania

Date- Aug 8, 2023

Time- 11am-12pm ET

Title- Advancing Climate Resiliency in Pennsylvania

Zoom link- https://tpl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7716IrenQcqwSQk-nw-owQ

Description- Investing in ‘blue and green zones’–trails built along waterways such as streams, rivers, creeks, and lakes– has immense potential to bring multiple climate benefits to communities in Pennsylvania. Restoring buffers along waterways not only addresses state and federal water quality improvement goals and stormwater management requirements, but also protects habitats, increases biodiversity, and makes these natural areas more accessible to local communities. This webinar will highlight success stories of modern “blue and green” greenway projects in central Pennsylvania, and speakers will share a holistic approach to increasing climate resiliency in these areas, and how they leveraged funding to integrate trails and waterway development.

June 7: APA PA Webinar Wednesday – Checking the Boxes with Green Infrastructure

May 30, 2023 / / Comments Off on June 7: APA PA Webinar Wednesday – Checking the Boxes with Green Infrastructure

Checking the Boxes with Green Infrastructure

What are the impacts of trees? Maintenance costs, economic benefits, equity considerations, health factors, stormwater implications, regulatory challenges… This session will look at the multi-dimensionality of green infrastructure (not just trees!) and the long-term vision for risk reduction and health improvement with planner and municipal action opportunities woven throughout. Speakers will raise some considerations specific to active transportation and climate change as well. The discussion will provide a framework for recognizing the compound impacts of natural systems and incorporating systemic benefits into planning processes. It will also touch on practical techniques for reducing apparent conflicts between trees and paving surfaces and space competition between green infrastructure and active transportation.

Sustainability/Resilience CM credit is pending approval. You must attend the webinar live in order to earn CM credit.

Speakers:
Rebecca Wetzler
Samantha Pearson
