Ontario Panel
Convened by Denis

Panelists:

A balanced
presentation of LID concepts including bioretention gardens, benefits
of native plants, habitat creation, permeable surfacing and how all
these concepts improve our quality of life and, in many cases, lower
our costs and maintenance in the long run. Areas of focus will also
include limiting of invasive plants, reducing areas covered by
turfgrass, the benefits of tree planting and boulevard gardens.
Helping folks understand that there are many, little beneficial
things they can do to help the planet is something landscapers have
an ability and an obligation to do.
