SUMMARY:Lawn Conversion and Green Infrastructure–Why and How? (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Join WeConservePA and guest speakers from the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR)\, Bureau of Forestry\, Rural and Community Forestry section for a two-part presentation on the whys and how-to’s of lawn conversion and green infrastructure. \nDCNR launched its Lawn Conversion program in 2020. Born out of the Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts\, this statewide program’s goal is to improve water quality through converting mowed grass lawn areas to either forest or meadow\, both of which help to improve infiltration and remove pollutants in stormwater runoff. In this session\, we will cover how the lawn conversion program was envisioned and how it is currently operating\, how DCNR is working to make lawn conversion funding and technical assistance available to partner organizations working with landowners in Pennsylvania\, the basics of designing and implementing lawn conversion projects\, and the challenges that come with converting lawn to meadow or forest.

SUMMARY:2022 Nature of Place Symposium\, "The Voice of Change"
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens \nThis year\, our symposium theme is “metamorphosis.” One of the largest obstacles in our human response to environmental issues like climate change has nothing to do with technology\, knowledge\, or intelligence: it’s human behavior and mindset. We often fear change\, struggle to authentically communicate with those around us\, and feel like we lack the tools to influence decision makers. With all of this in mind\, the goal of Nature of Place: The Voice of Change is to help us connect to our communities\, reconnect with the natural world\, and catalyze real and lasting change towards climate action and an equitable green future.

SUMMARY:Metrics that Matter: Evaluating Green Stormwater Infrastructure Performance
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resources Center \nGreen stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is being implemented with greater and greater frequency throughout the country in order to meet water quality goals\, enhance our communities\, improve climate change resiliency\, and even reduce costs. It is considered an important tool for communities addressing source reduction\, particularly under the recent municipal consent orders distributed to communities by the Allegheny County Health Department and PA Department of Environmental Protection. But how do owners and/or operators know if the GSI is doing what it was designed to do? During this session\, stormwater program managers\, governments\, community organizations\, and even design professionals will learn methods for assessing the effectiveness of GSI and the complexities and compromises that should be considered when performing an assessment of installed GSI practices. To that end\, this presentation will explore the “metrics that matter” for every stage of a GSI project\, from initial site planning to design methodologies to construction phase evaluations and ultimately to postconstruction performance monitoring. The goal is to provide municipal and design communities with a practical framework of the available and emerging resources and tools necessary to deliver GSI projects that will pass the test of time\, especially in an increasingly complex social environment and in a changing climate.

SUMMARY:DISCOVER x UNTITLED OPEN TALKS
DESCRIPTION:Provided by UNTITLED \nThis talk will feature Democratic Society (Demsoc)\, a non-profit based in Brussels with offices across Europe. Demsoc works to create a democracy that works for everyone. This includes democratizing climate action and involving people in the transition to a just\, resilient climate future. Because Climate Action enables us a future and Democracy allows it to be a future for all. Their Climate Programme has been working with over 14 cities across Europe\, collaborating with governments at all levels\, citizen-led initiatives\, funders\, researchers\, and other nonprofits to achieve climate resilience through democratic means\, what DemSoc terms ‘climate democracy’. This talk will highlight DemSoc’s fresh findings on working with change-hesitant cities. Hesitancy or resistance must be only part of the journey\, not the end\, and it is important to find ways to mobilize action even in settings that are hesitant to act. In such settings\, Strategies for a Networked Approach can catalyze and sustain ongoing shifts toward climate democracy.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Extravaganza
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for Creative Reuse this Earth Day for a virtual extravaganza celebrating art and the environment. \n\nLearn about Earth Day! We will share some facts about Earth Day and tidbits of its history.\nLearn about Creative Reuse! We will also be sharing the story of our organization\, as well as information about the concept of Creative Reuse.\nHear from amazing artists! Enjoy two artist-talks with local reuse artists Naomi Chambers and Brad Bianchi and learn about their work\, processes\, and the materials they use.\nMake Art! You can opt to add a project kit to your ticket purchase\, which will include an array of plastic objects to create a unique piece of reuse art. There will be dedicated making time towards the end of the event.

SUMMARY:Large-scale Solar Development: Water Quality Risk\, or Green Infrastructure? The PV-SMaRT Project
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resource Center \nSolar energy is now the least expensive form of electric energy generation in world.  Consequently\, the market for solar energy projects is surging\, with large-scale projects being proposed in every state in the nation.  Large-scale PV solar projects\, in particular\, present unique and uncertain risks and opportunities to water quality and watershed functions.  The U.S. Department of Energy funded the Photovoltaic Stormwater Management Research and Testing (PV-SMaRT) project to evaluate water quality impacts of large-scale solar development.  The study will create solar-specific runoff coefficients that consider type of ground cover\, soil type\, hydrology\, slope\, and solar array design based on field testing across the nation and 3-D modeling. The project will also engage permit jurisdictions (authorities having jurisdiction\, AHJs)\, from local to federal\, to disseminate the findings and identify permitting best practices to make permitting transparent and predictable and improve water quality outcomes in our nation’s surface waters. One potential implication of the study is understanding the conditions under which conversion of agricultural or disturbed land to solar development with appropriate ground cover could meet green infrastructure goals of improving water quality outcomes within impaired watersheds.

SUMMARY:Preparing Your Community for Solar Development: the SolSmart Program and Technical Assistance
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resources Center \nLocal governments have tremendous influence over the prospects for\, and shape of\, solar energy growth. The solar industry is a leading source of American job creation and attracting solar investment in your community is a great way to promote economic development and new jobs. Solar resources are inherently local and can benefit the community directly as energy sources.  However\, solar development – from the rooftop to the solar farm – presents both opportunity and risk to the community. Many communities are poorly equipped to navigate the issues of local solar development. The national SolSmart program (funded by the U.S. Department of Energy) offers free technical assistance to communities for navigating risks and capturing opportunities as the solar industry ramps up. This workshop will describe the burgeoning market for solar energy and solar development\, the components of ensuring your community is “solar-ready” to both capture benefits and minimize risks\, and the solar-ready certification process and technical assistance opportunities.  Water quality and watershed issues will be addressed.
