5:00 PM - 7:00 PM	Design with Nature on Cape Cod and the Islands - Design with Nature on Cape Cod and the Islands Join us with speaker Jack Ahern for a presentation to take a a critical look at current landscape design and management practices on the Cape shows an un-sustainable approach, favoring exotic species, reliance on irrigation, unnecessary use of fertilizers and herbicides, and not supporting the unique character and ecology of the Cape and Islands. An alternative approach, based on ecological principles is advocated that addresses the concerns above and that can provide beauty through the seasons, supporting habitat for other species, regenerate rather than compromise the environment and reinforce the unique sense-of-pace on the Cape.  This “design with nature” approach will be illustrated with built landscape projects on the Cape and Islands.  Jack Ahern is emeritus professor of landscape architecture at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.  He is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects and of the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture. Jack is a registered landscape architect.  He researches and writes about how ecological knowledge and theory can be applied in landscape design, planning, and management. His latest book is Design with Nature on Cape Cod and the Islands (UMass Press 2022). He is currently researching how novel urban ecosystems can be designed and managed, globally, in the Century of the City.   All are welcome to attend.  These events are offered free to the public, but contributions are accepted.
