2:45 – 3:30 p.m. Designing with Trees in Mind Presented by Phillip Van Wassenaer, Urban Forest Innovations, Mississauga With space at a premium in urban areas, trees are still all-too-often an afterthought in the landscape design process, whether in new builds or site redevelopment. Detail cross-sections and landscape renderings are full of large-canopied shade trees, but rare is the design that shows adequate room for root development or specifies a high-quality, suitable growing environment for trees. Phillip Van Wassenaer presents the constraints associated with designing with trees in mind. Throughout the lecture, there will be ample opportunity to exchange of ideas, discussion of positive and negative experiences, and development of effective strategies. |
