ONCE LAND IS LEGALLY PRESERVED FROM DEVELOPMENT, how can it
be affordably and easily managed for ecological services as well visual character? By
integrating ecological restoration techniques with cultural landscape preferences, land
stewards can ensure properties have tangible value to community members while
possessing high-quality, resilient natural systems. Using case studies from both small
and large settings, this lecture illustrates concrete, reliable management practices based
on ecological principles, known cultural landscape preferences, and proven restoration
techniques. Emphasis is also placed on how to recruit native plant communities and
maximize plant colonization, natural succession and disturbance events to save funds
and labor.
Larry Weaner has over 30 years of landscape design and installation experience,
combining expertise in horticulture, environmental science, and the traditions of
garden design. In 1982 he founded Larry Weaner Landscape Associates, a nationallyrecognized firm providing landscape design and restoration services. His awardwinning work has been profiled in such publications as The New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, and Garden Design magazine.
