<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Among ecologists and earth scientists there is an increasing recognition that human activities are woven into the structure and evolutionary
trajectory of ecosystems – from meadows and croplands to rainforests and oceans. In many, if not most parts of the world, ‘wild nature’ is giving way to landscapes that are increasingly molded by people. In restoration ecology, the emerging research paradigm
of ‘novel ecosystems’ also reveals that even dense urban landscapes can become home to unique and resilient ecological communities. Join leading restoration ecologist, Professor Stephen Murphy, along with European landscape management experts, to examine how
we might cultivate ‘novel urban landscapes’ as part of regional sustainability programs.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In this web seminar, we will consider how, as landscape designers, estates managers, sustainability planners, and urban ecologists, we might
apply traditional landscape management techniques to develop urban regions that are diverse, livable, walkable, attractive, green, and resilient. Discussion will focus on the implications for the design of naturalized spaces, public spaces, school grounds,
bike paths, roadways, and green infrastructure; the remediation of brownfield sites; the enhancement of local downtown core(s); and, the nurturing of a culture of environmental stewardship.</span></p>
