SUMMARY:SCDN Webinar: Urban Agriculture - From Vacant Properties to Green Space
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\nFREE \nThe presence of vacant properties is a challenge that municipalities face every day\, but these spaces can be utilized to benefit the community in several ways: returning properties to the tax rolls\, improving community engagement\, fostering economic development\, and combating food insecurity. \nInterest in urban agriculture and community gardening has seen a major resurgence in the last 15 years. As municipal leaders seek ways to improve the quality of life for their neighborhoods\, community gardens have shown to cultivate resident engagement and productive community partnerships. Utilizing vacant lots as green space in some communities has also revealed an improvement in air and water quality\, helping with stormwater issues and even calming local traffic. \nAs a response to rising interest in community gardening\, Grow Pittsburgh formed in 2005 and has since become a go-to resource when it comes to self-sustaining urban agriculture in the region. Join Local Government Academy in partnership with Sustainable Pittsburgh’s Sustainable Community Development Network (SCDN) as we host speaker Rayden Sorock\, Director of Community Projects at Grow Pittsburgh\, for a webinar describing best practices for starting an urban agricultural project. Learn which policies municipalities can adopt to facilitate growing food\, and then hear from Rebecca Bradley\, Manager of Wilkins Township\, about a real community garden project. \nAbout the presenters: \nRayden Sorock is the Director of Community Projects at Grow Pittsburgh. Since 2008\, Rayden has been working in community-focused agriculture\, and has worked with communities to start or support 80+ community gardens throughout Allegheny County. He lives in Wilkinsburg with his family and backyard garden. \nRebecca Bradley has been the Manager for Wilkins Township\, Allegheny County for the last 15 years. She also serves as a peer-to-peer consultant for the DCED Governor’s Center for Local Government Services. Prior to working for Wilkins\, Rebecca spent ten years as the Administrator for the City of Aliquippa\, Beaver County. Rebecca has a Masters in Business Administration from Geneva College. Hobbies including running\, reading and weeding.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Recycling Matters\, And Here is What is Being Done to Keep It That Way
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nWhat is recycling and why does it matter? Recycling\, for many consumers\, is the iconic sustainable behavior. But\, if you’ve read the headlines\, recycling is in trouble. The good news is that big brands and companies are partnering up to fix it. \nThe Recycling Partnership (TRP) works across the country to bring recycling to those that don’t have it and improve it for those that do. This webinar will overview the national recycling landscape – highlighting challenges and opportunities for Americans that don’t have the same level of access to recycling as they do to trash.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Recycling Matters\, And Here is What is Being Done to Keep It That Way
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nWhat is recycling and why does it matter? Recycling\, for many consumers\, is the iconic sustainable behavior. But\, if you’ve read the headlines\, recycling is in trouble.

This webinar will overview the national recycling landscape – highlighting challenges and opportunities for Americans that don’t have the same level of access to recycling as they do to trash. The webinar will also show the hard work that is happening around the country to clean up contamination in the recycling system and how TRP is working with hundreds of communities to capture more\, better recyclables across the country. \nAs Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) creates a beverage company of the future\, their combined size and scale provides a significant opportunity—and responsibility—to preserve and protect the environment and give back to society in the local and global communities they have offices\, operations\, suppliers\, and consumers.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR Urban Farming - Creating Food Security\, Safe Outdoor Space\, and Meaningful Work in Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:What’s a city farm for? (an invitation!)\nShowing what food security can look like. Providing a safe outdoor space for children to learn about food. Offering meaningful work for neighbors. Building healthy soils. Giving cooking and nutrition demonstrations. Growing a local business\, often woman-owned or African American-owned (or both!). Demonstrating the power of growing vegetables and fruits without the use of harmful chemical sprays or fertilizers. Trapping carbon. Saving the Bay. These are just some of the social\, environmental\, and community benefits of Baltimore’s urban farms. Now we’ve compiled our data into a report\, along with a beautiful and informative story map that shows how four of our Farm Alliance member farms are working to end food apartheid in Baltimore. \nYou’re invited to join the Farm Alliance Community for a webinar for a peek at our report and story map\, to share in the most up-to-date research on what our farms and programs are doing in Baltimore. The webinar will take place Friday\, December 7th\, at 3pm EST. The webinar is free\, but you can sign up for it here.
