Classes
start Tuesday, October 31st! Green School is a comprehensive certificate training program for Green Industry professionals taught by UMass Extension Educators and Faculty. This course is designed for landscape, turf, and other horticultural practitioners wishing to gain an understanding of horticulture fundamentals and strategies and their relation to environmental quality. Green School attendees learn about sustainable approaches to turf and landscape management in managed environments. Green School's curriculum is based on research and emphasizes environmental stewardship and integrated pest management (IPM). Participants will develop an understanding of how proper management practices impact natural resources such as soil and water. Participants learn how to make environmentally appropriate decisions related to turf and plant selection, plant maintenance, pest and nutrient management. Choose 1 of 2 sections: Landscape Management or Turf Management. Green School begins on October 31, 2006 and runs for 12 sessions until December 12th. Classes will be held at the Radisson Hotel in Milford, MA (exit 19 off Rt. 495). Each day runs from 9:00 am to 3:30.

Wednesday, November 15 Landscape Architecture Symposium On Wednesday, November 15, the Boston Society of Landscape Architects will sponsor "Open Space and the Greenway," a day-long examination of open-space issues in Boston with a special emphasis on the future of the post-Big Dig open space: B14
Open Space and Urban Form in Boston This is the first of a series of four workshops on the history and impacts of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (the Big Dig) on Boston open space. From the Common and Public Garden, to the Emerald Necklace to the Charles River Esplanade, to the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, parks have been significant contributors to the urban form of Boston, defining the city and helping to build its reputation as a great place to live and work. We provide a capsule review of that history as a means of establishing the background against which the latest addition to the great parks will be judged. See also workshops B33, B66, and B84.
B33
The Rose Kennedy Greenway: This is the second of a series of four workshops on the history and impacts of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (the Big Dig) on Boston open space. The parks are finally well into construction; some are fully completed and open. It's safe to say that no parks have been as widely anticipated in Boston's history as these. But have the parks met expectations? Do they achieve their lofty goals? What would the designers and park management do differently given a second chance? This session explores the immediate aftermath of the 20 years of development of these parks. See also workshops B14, B66, and B84.
B66
The Rose Kennedy Greenway: This is the third in a series of four workshops on the history and impacts of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (the Big Dig) on Boston open space. The Greenway has become a catalyst for new development along its full length. It has also affected the property values of buildings adjacent to the Greenway. How can we understand the overall financial impact of such a large-scale open space development? And how do we create tools to assess the potential impacts early in the park development process? This session explores how the parks and streetscapes influence tax and other revenues and provides guidance for future open space development inside and outside of Boston. (See also workshops B14, B33, and B84.)
B84
The Rose Kennedy Greenway: This is the fourth of a series of four workshops on the history and impacts of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (the Big Dig) on Boston open space. With the completion of the Greenway and the other mitigation projects of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project, a major addition will be made to Boston's and the region's open space system. Where do we go from here? What is still missing from the overall open space picture? What user groups and neighborhoods are still underserved? And how do we go about completing the picture - under whose guidance and with what funding? Our panel of urban and open space experts starts creating a framework for the next hundred years of open space development in Boston. See also workshops B14, B33, and B66.
