Biodiversity Protection Virtual Symposium 2021

Protecting & Enhancing Local Ecosystems

Join GRHC’s Green Infrastructure For Biodiversity Protection and Enhancement Symposium to understand the critical role living architecture plays in resilient and diverse urban ecosystems. Learn about the design principles that support biodiverse projects and enhance their performance.
