Rob McDonald at Virginia Festival of the Book

Join Rob McDonald at the Virginia Festival of the Book on Thursday, March 17 at 4:00 pm.

Robert McDonald, author of Conservation for Cities, will join author Katherine Loflin to talk about the power of place and the importance of integrating nature into communities in a session entitled "Location Matters: Today and Tomorrow." The books and this discussion look at what we value in the homes we seek and the communities we build. How do we find the right place to live and work, as individuals, families, or businesses? Once we have found the right place, how do we protect it? How can cities design infrastructure to provide a connection with natural benefits and protect nature at the same time? How can communities incorporate changes in the climate into future planning and development?
