The 2015 Earth Stewardship Initiative Project

 

As part of the 100th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) in Baltimore MD, we planned a large Earth Stewardship Initiative (ES Initiative) demonstration project that centered on community-based planning and outreach in that city. The initiative included a week-long interactive demonstration of how ecologists working with community leaders, planners and landscape architects, government officials, and non-profits could move a city toward sustainability.
