ONEONTA, NY — Landscaping professionals will gather in Davenport on March 11 to 13 for a training on how to use native plants and support natural habitats. As homeowners, business owners and municipalities become more concerned about taking action for the climate, this conference will give landscapers tools to support the ecosystem through their work.
The training and endorsement program is called Habitat and Ecosystems Land Pro (HELP). This training will be held at Hartwick College’s Pine Lake Environmental Campus—a location committed to environmental sustainability and ecological awareness. The HELP conference is the result of a collaboration between the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society and the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center.
The HELP training is the first of its kind offered in upstate New York, and the framework has only recently been developed by Joyann Cirigliano, who is a senior coordinator of bird-friendly communities at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center. Joyann has recently taught this material on Long Island and in southern Connecticut, with portions streamed on Zoom.
Landscaping professionals who attend this training have the opportunity to earn continuing education credits as well as become endorsed and listed on a collection of online resources associated with the HELP program.
Registration for the upstate New York HELP training is open now and will remain open until all 50 spots are filled. For more information or to register, visit www.doas.us/help.
