Pre-Conference Short Session for Certified Pros :Stormwater for Poets & Philosophers
December 6, 2023 | 4:00 pm – 5:45 pm | $15
No longer the sole purview of the engineering profession, stormwater management is about landscapes, resiliency, community-building, jobs, and, yes, clean water. The engineers have worked out the equations, but many who are curious about stormwater management still view these principles as an impenetrable black box. Stormwater Management for Poets and Philosophers will peel away the curtain and invite you in to a new understanding of the principles and practices of stormwater planning and design. Guest Dave Hirschman

Living Shorelines Field Tour | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm | $40
Living shorelines include a suite of techniques used to minimize coastal erosion and to protect, restore, enhance or create natural shoreline habitat. Techniques may include the use of fiber coir logs, sills, groins, breakwaters or other components used in combination with sand, other natural materials and marsh plantings. This half-day tour will take us to several living shoreline practices in Queen Anne’s and Kent Counties. We will be joined by Sarah Hilderbrandt from Maryland DNR and Lucas Lees of Unity Landscaping, as we visit living shorelines of different ages, in various conditions.
