Join us for our ReScape interactive Certification Workshop. In January 2023, California DPR Sustainable pest management (SPM) published the “Accelerating Sustainable Pest Management Road Map for California,” an IPM approach that integrates various techniques and products to promote healthy, resilient ecosystems across diverse settings. It talks about reduction of pest management risks and offers effective solutions. 

This Workshop is a 6-hour deep dive into areas of focus, role, programs, and available resources in Sustainable Pest Management (SPM) as governed by the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) in California. The Workshop will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of pest management practices. ReScape’s 8 Principles for Regenerative Landscapes will reinforce a whole-systems approach.

This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement sustainable and effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies. You will delve into various aspects of pest management, from understanding the foundational principles of SPM to gaining proficiency in pest identification, control and safety techniques. You will share issues and emerging trends you are seeing out in the field. We will explore the crucial role of IPM in creating healthy, resilient ecosystems in diverse settings. 

By the end of this course, you will know regulations and guidelines governing pest management. Real-world case studies and industry best practices will provide tools to implement IPM strategies effectively.  

If you plan to receive a ReScape Certification for this Workshop, note that you will take a Certification Exam immediately following the class. Please reserve an additional 30-45 minutes to complete the Exam.

ReScape’s Advanced Professional Workshop “Compost and Mulch Best Practices” goes beyond the basics and dives deep into detailed best compost and mulch management practices to mitigate the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon and protecting a biodiverse ecosystem. We’ll share techniques for applying compost in different situations, how to specify the best quality compost, and what types of compost are suited to native plants and post-fire landscapes. We will share case studies that demonstrate how compost and mulch best practices create regenerative, beautiful and resilient landscapes.

We'll also discuss California's newest compost and mulch legislation and requirements relating to MWELO and SB1383.   

This workshop is open to anyone. For public and private landscape professionals it is a solid foundation for our Fall 2023 Advanced Professional Workshops on MWELO and SB1383.

Join us for our ReScape interactive Certification workshop. GSI Plant Maintenance focuses on seasonal fall-winter plantings. This course is a 6-hour exploration of seasonal plant establishment and proper maintenance for Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI). ReScape’s 8 Principles for Regenerative Landscapes will reinforce a nature based, whole systems approach. 

In this workshop, we’ll discuss critical GSI topics such as soil health and irrigation and GSI plant maintenance as it relates to proper identification and care. We’ll examine images of plants during different times of the year to identify what they should and should not look like. In a deep dive into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as it relates to current regulation and policy, we’ll cover ways to deal with those pests and weeds often found in GSI landscapes. Prior to our closing Q&A, we’ll talk about how to manage litter, trash, and vandalism in these areas. 

This course perfectly complements our foundational Compost and Mulch Best Practices course on November 12, 2024.

As a reminder, if you signed up to receive a ReScape Certification for this Workshop, please note that you will take a Certification Exam following the conclusion. Please reserve an additional 15-30 minutes to complete the Exam.
