Designing and Managing Sustainable Landscapes
Lawn is an ecological hazard that surpasses corn acreage in the US. Implementing alternatives to lawn is a mission for many, but how much success have we had?? Fred will discuss what's in the way of broadly establishing sustainable and native landscapes, and what we can do to accomplish this important goal. He will present successful and unsuccessful projects through his 35 year career designing and managing sustainable and native landscapes, and discuss the lessons learned.
Fred Rozumalski is an ecologist and landscape architect currently employed in the water resources division of Barr Engineering Company in Minneapolis, MN. A believer in the power of every land owner's potential to help regenerate ecological balance, Fred has developed a specialty in designing practical landscapes that sequester carbon, harvest stormwater, and conserve energy. His work ranges from writing city-wide green infrastructure plans, to restoring native ecosystems, to designing corporate urban environments that feature native plants and perennial food crops. Fred is committed to teaching others to implement sustainable landscapes. Fred holds degrees in Horticulture, Ecology and Landscape Architecture. He also co-authored the book Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and has been adjunct faculty in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota.
