I’d like to take part in this webinar, when it’s rescheduled.

I’ve sent you an email.  I meant add CELA.  It’s international and they could possibly have some figures for you.  ~A

To Answer my own question… 🙂
I found these great fact sheets by ASLA while doing my online research.  Would love some worldwide numbers…

Will this be available after the fact to if we cant make the scheduled time for viewing at other times?  Or even to revisit and refresh?

thanks!

Im glad I get another shot at seeing it! Did you have a book on the subject as well?

The NJDOT had a couple of these along I-80 (I think).  From what I heard anecdotally from their wildlife people, they are quite effective.  Of course the highway is fenced for miles in each direction there.  From the highway, they look like just another overpass, but with extra-thick (7′ tall!) beams that they placed a lot of fill on.  It was jus…[Read more]

thank you all for your input.  as i see it, the course would be for credit and the project would be managed by a licensed Landscape contractor with student labor as part of the course.  i will be in the situation that if the idea is accepted by the college, i would be the course instructor and handle the administration, with con…[Read more]

Thanks for the effort. I too am determined to attend.  

Glad to hear it-I’m very determined to attend!

Oh, sorry I just sent a message about my troubles on this end. Could reschedule be some other night than a Wednesday? I’ve been lucky 2 choir practices were cancelled but it would probably collide next time. Thanks LW

Amen.  Lectures are one thing–but only one.

I did an internship at a D/B after I graduated and I learned a great deal that has helped with my designs. Not just on how to design a landscape so it can be built but how to do so efficiently. Then beyond that I worked for a large commercial landscape maintenance company and learned how to design so it can be maintained without great cost or he…[Read more]

Another program to look at is RISD – namely its connection to Brown University which includes Brown’s Sheridan Center for Teaching. 
A number of MLA students (myself included) have gone through this.  The Sheridan program is a one year long series of lectures, workshops, and seminars focusing on how to learn to teach at the university level.  Wh…[Read more]

These always remind of the West Wing episode with the wolf highway lobbyist…  I know they work for some species, but as mark pointed out can lead to kill zones (which I suppose means the prey are using them…).  One would think that the traffic safety factor for larger critters makes it more economically prudent to fund them.  Here’s to ho…[Read more]

I think Matt covered it well: GSD, Penn, UVA, and UC-Berkeley are the established older programs and maintain a level of academic standard that is a ground work or for pursuing personal research.  UT-Austin, UofMN, UGA, UW and LSU all also have very respected programs that integrate research into their curricula.  A number of new programs have b…[Read more]

Thanks for the insight!  BUMP, any more input guys?
