CRC Roundtable is a monthly virtual seminar series, to host targeted, inclusive, and informed conversations matching scientific advances and management needs in a way that moves us collectively forward toward decision-making for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources.

The lunchtime seminars invites a diverse range of researchers, managers, and other professionals to have timely conversations around topics relevant to the Chesapeake partnership. The seminars are designed to promote contribution, not just consumption, of information with short presentations followed by facilitated discussion among attendees. They provide a place for participants to “ask the clumsy questions”. The seminars also build connectivity across participating organizations and identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision making.

When Restoration Bears Fruit: Food Forests in the Bay Watershed

February 18th, 12-1 pm

As the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort increasingly emphasizes green infrastructure and community engagement, the creation of local foraging opportunities benefits both the environment and communities. Food forests go beyond basic gardening; they are thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance, perennial-based agroforestry systems designed to mimic a natural forest ecosystem while addressing community needs.

Join us on Wednesday, February 18th from 12-1pm to learn more about food forests and edible trails in practice.



Speakers:

  • Francis Smith, Natural Resources Planner II, Maryland Forest Service
  • Shelly Barrick Parsons, Executive Director, Capital Trees
