From February to December, the featured Free PDH of the Month will be the webinars offered as part of the Biodiversity Climate Action Webinar Series.

This webinar will briefly review the fundamentals of the biodiversity crisis. Through case studies, we will then explore ways landscape architects can apply conservation science and design practices to protect and enhance biodiversity.

From February to December, the featured Free PDH of the Month will be the webinars offered as part of the Biodiversity Climate Action Webinar Series.

Discover how landscape architects are helping to protect Lower Manhattan from climate impacts through design. Learn about some of the most cutting-edge coastal risk reduction projects.

Today's projects face increasingly complex questions and issues, requiring sophisticated planning, management, and landscape architecture solutions. This complexity demands a GIS-focused, cross-disciplinary approach, integrating elements of design with both human and natural geography.

Extreme heat is the deadliest of all weather-related disasters and creates acute and chronic health risks. Dangerous heat also impacts low-income and underserved communities the most, given these communities have far less tree canopy. Learn about the evidence for equitable, nature-based solutions to reduce temperatures. Discover how to visualize thermal disparities and implement impactful designs from the city to neighborhood scales.

This session will go beyond the minimum requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design for recreation facilities, including considerations for surfacing, site amenities, site arrival points, outdoor inclusive fitness equipment, play areas, and much more. Attendees will develop a better understanding of the features that make a park or play area inclusive for everyone.

Embark on a transformative journey towards zero emission business operations. This webinar delves into the strategies and best practices for measuring, understanding, and effectively reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Gain insights from real-world case studies of five landscape architecture firms on their journey to zero emissions. Learn how to develop an action plan with short and long-term goals for your organization's sustainable future.

Dive deep into the SITES material selection credits, explore the CAP model of industrial ecology, and uncover innovative products and practices that can accelerate the transition to a carbon-free, biodiversity-positive future. Discover practical tools, frameworks, and conversation starters that will empower you to lead the charge towards a more sustainable industry.

Explore how to decarbonize construction through material selection and detail composition.

This session focuses on how to approach decarbonization as designers. Landscape architects are skilled at balancing a complex array of different considerations on every project, regardless of its type or scale. To achieve carbon reduction goals, our design approach must incorporate best practices and strategies seamlessly into our practice.

This session is a global introduction to carbon in the built environment tailored to landscape architects and landscape product vendors and contractors.
