This presentation is based on topics from the book Climate-Wise Landscaping: Practical Actions for a Sustainable Future, which takes an optimistic approach, with hundreds of actions that property owners or land managers (homeowners, communities, and municipalities) can take right now to accomplish at least one of 3 objectives: 1) to help the landscape survive climate change, 2) to help wildlife survive climate change, and 3) to help to mitigate climate change.

The book was written by Ginny Stibolt, a botanist in Florida and Sue Reed, a landscape Architect in Massachusetts, with a foreword by Doug Tallamy.
