Join University of Maryland Extension, NRCS, and Keith Ohlinger for an educational pasture walk at Porch View Farm in Woodbine, MD (Howard county).

Porch View Farm is a family farm dedicated to raising heritage breed livestock on a silvopasture system. The farm currently raises Irish Dexter cattle and honey bees but has previously had pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guineas. Our host, farm owner Keith Ohlinger, will share his experience implementing practices like silvopasture, rotational grazing with mixed species, and using amendments like biochar and compost to build soil health on the farm.

LARC Lecture Series: Should Ecological Planting Be a Design Profession Separate from Landscape Architecture?

  • Wednesday, April 23 - Wednesday, April 23

This presentation explores whether landscape architecture’s ongoing neglect of ecological planting design—despite its growing importance in addressing urban environmental challenges—warrants the creation of a distinct professional discipline. As cities grapple with climate change, biodiversity loss, and stormwater management, the need for resilient, ecologically sound planting strategies has never been greater. However, traditional landscape architecture often prioritizes aesthetics and spatial planning over ecological function. Should ecological planting design be elevated into a specialized field with its own standards, training, and professional identity? This inquiry aims to assess the viability and necessity of such a shift within the profession.

LARC Lecture Series: Alternate Project Delivery Methods: Multiple Pathways in Professional Practice

  • Wednesday, April 02 - Wednesday, April 02

This presentation explores alternate project delivery methods utilizing the award winning work of Floura Teeter. Examples of Design-Build (DB), Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Progressive Design-Build (PDB) and Public-Private Partnership (P3) are showcased. One example is the transportation sector with her work on large-scale infrastructure, heavy construction, and transportation projects, which are historically engineer-driven and resistant to design thinking. Joan’s work encompasses millions of square feet of outdoor recreation areas, roadway improvements, and transit system hubs, including work on suburban Maryland’s $1+ billion Intercounty Connector, the senior housing project Brightview Grosvenor, and Purple Line projects. Floura Teeter, celebrating 25 years, is one of the largest single-discipline landscape architecture firms based in Baltimore, Maryland with offices in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
