KSC Grounds Department Hosts Ecological Workshop

Keene State College’s Grounds Department is hosting “Landscaping at the Water’s Edge: An Ecological Approach to Landscaping Shoreland Property,” a two-day workshop presented by UNH Cooperative Extension.

This program is intended for people who are policy makers or are in the business of developing, maintaining, or preserving shoreline properties, and others who are concerned about the impacts of landscaping on water quality, including landscape designers, contractors, maintenance professionals, members of lakes and rivers associations, and other decision-makers who need to understand ecological approaches to landscaping for water quality protection.

Registration includes the two-day program, a book, lots of additional resource materials, lunches, coffee breaks, and a certificate of completion. The program will be held at the Keene State College Camp on Wilson Pond in Swanzey, New Hampshire, on October 8 and 15, 2008.
