Landscaping for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability - CANCELLED!

This program will discuss energy efficiency in terms of shading,
evapo-transpiration, air movement and green roofs, while delving into
such factors as photosynthesis, roof/wall/area shading, windbreaks,
foundation wind-blocks, and wind channeling. The presentation will also
cover water management, including rain gardens, dry wells, cisterns and
above-ground storage. Important issues like permaculture, food
productivity, and debate over native verses non-native plants will also
be highlighted. Our guest speaker is John Knouse, one of the
Athens-area's foremost active conservationalists. John has had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances.  We hope to reschedule.  Sorry for any inconvenience.Sponsored by the Friends of the Athens Public Library.
