Greater & Greener 2019: Exploring Natural Connections, is a biannual, international convening of urban parks officials, presented by the City Parks Alliance, that will bring together more than 1,000 urban park, city planning and design professionals, public officials, advocates, funders, and innovators. As a Silver-level sponsor, The Salazar Center will host the Urban Greening and Biodiversity track of workshops at the conference. Topics include strategies to develop, steward, and measure urban greening efforts, with a particular focus on biodiversity and resilience; designing natural systems in urban parks; greening schoolyards; managing natural systems in cities; large scale tree planting; and urban greening partnerships. The Center hopes to use this opportunity to connect with stakeholders and advance ideas about urban conservation.
