Tickets: Dinner and lecture: $28.00 Send checks to Kathryn Hanratty, PO Box 1064, Chardon, Ohio 44024; 440-477-5468 Tickets for the lecture only: $10.00, purchased through the Museum TICKETS ARE LIMITED, SO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS EARLY Annual Dinner Speaker Our speaker this year will be Joan Nassauer, Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects (1992), Professor of Landscape Architecture in the school of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her teaching focuses on landscape ecology and landscape perception, with applications in design and planning of agricultural and urban watersheds. Her current research includes retrofitting cities, particularly brown fields, for ecological function and water quality, perception of ecologically innovative exurban development patterns, using alternative policy scenarios and futures to monitor landscape change. She will speak about the perception of native/sustainable landscaping and how to increase public acceptance. A very clear and engaging speaker, she is also an author. She will have her books available that night, Placing Nature: Culture and Landscape Ecology (1997), and possibly her new one, From the Corn Belt to the Gulf: Societal and Environmental Implications of Alternative Agricultural Futures (2007).
