Climate Change ForumThe Living Landscape – From Lawn to Native Garden
Sun May 1 – 1:30 pm – zoom below
Designer, architectural writer, and educator Michael Cockram will discuss plans to transform the OMNI center’s grounds into a sustainable “Living Landscape”. Michael will trace his path to green buildings and landscapes through his career as an adjunct professor at the University of Oregon; to reporting on the “sponge cities” of China and efforts to save New Orleans from rising waters using the techniques developed in the Netherlands.
We’ll discuss how Living Landscapes can mitigate the effects of climate change, reduce pollution, nurture wildlife and return the beauty of the natural world to urban landscapes. We’ll look at how the Omni Center project can serve as a laboratory, case study and, eventually, an educational demonstration garden for the region.
