Title: Reclaiming the Edges: The Role of Agroforestry in Urban Areas
Speaker: Dave Coulter / Osage Inc
Location: Village of Lombard, 255 E. Wilson Ave., Lombard, IL
Urban landscapes contain a variety of elements and spaces – in areas that are overlooked, a challenge to maintain, and sometimes have room for improvement. The care of such areas is often the responsibility of a municipality, or park agency.
There are practices from the world of agroforestry that might be applied to such areas. We live in a time when many are looking to add beauty, biodiversity and even food production into their communities. Taking a new look at improving some of these marginal spaces is the theme of this presentation.
NOTE: Attendees should bring copies of maps of their towns/areas they manage to this workshop! 1/19/17
