Libby Hintz has been creating mosaics in many forms since 2007; large-scale mosaics, jewelry, belt buckles, small works, and commissions. Making art for and with people has taught her so much about herself and how she navigates through life and she enjoys sharing her passion for the craft with others. Libby has taught at the Art League of Long Island and in her own studio as well as at Bayard Cutting Arboretum.

3:00P | Using Drones in Arboriculture
Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) or “drones” are increasingly being used in the green industry, particularly in agriculture, to reduce costs and increase the speed of labor intensive tasks such as spraying, crop monitoring, even seeding. Henry will discuss Bartlett Tree Research Laboratory’s use of drones in arboriculture as well as some other uses in the 21st century landscape. Topics will include an overview of different types of drones, basics of flight control, rules, regulations and licensing, aerial surveys of a property, using drone photography to manage arboretum collections, conducting tree canopy inspections, multispectral photography to create normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) imagery and mapping, spraying, beneficial insect releases, and other novel uses of a drone in tree care. At the end of the presentation a live demonstration will be conducted showing how to fly a drone to conduct a tree canopy evaluation.
11:15A | Landscapes for the Future: An Entomological Perspective
The role insects currently play in our landscapes, how that might change in the future and what we might be doing about it, including with invasive species in mind will be discussed. Except in limited, but noteworthy cases, landscape plant pest and disease issues tend not to figure highly in landscape planning. Even less consideration is paid to ecological benefits or the interest insects can provide directly and indirectly. Some new technologies also are changing the way pest management is done and we can expect more developments to come.
9:45A | i-Tree: Optimizing Tree Benefits from Backyards to Communities
Trees are becoming widely accepted as multi-tasking benefit providers. Scientific research has shown that trees can help with everything from reducing air conditioning bills to reducing crime. But how do you decide what trees to plant and where to plant them? The i-Tree suite of free tools is here to help. Developed by researchers with the US Forest Service and software engineers at the Davey Institute, i-Tree tools get the latest research about the benefits of trees into the hands of residents, decision makers, and practitioners. You will have an opportunity to use the entry-level MyTree (mytree.itreetools.org) mobile application to estimate tree benefits near your own home and learn about its flexibility and mapping capabilities. The newer i-Tree Landscape tool which can help identify where trees are needed most in your community will be introduced. If you want help deciding what tree to plant and where to plant it, i-Tree has a tool for you.
8:45A | Before New York: Views into the Historical Landscape Ecology of New York City
Before the skyscrapers, avenues and crowded sidewalks, New York City consisted of forests, streams and a prodigious diversity of wildlife. Sanderson’s work focuses on the landscape of New York’s early history, with a particular focus on the time before Henry Hudson arrived in 1609. He will discuss the city from the perspective of a landscape ecologist, describing the painstaking historical research and modern computational methods used to reconstruct New York’s past, and discuss how the study of historical ecology lays the foundation for meaningful urban sustainability.
1:30P | Applying Modern Technology in the Landscape: Mapping Bayard Cutting Arboretum’s Collections
Living in the digital age, the arboretum adopts modern practices to understand and share their extensive collections. The gathering of data has been upgraded from historical paper maps to high quality mapping technology. Using the data, we can manage, quantify, and improve the landscape moving into the future. This utilization of technology has been a valuable asset to the arboretum’s many horticultural and environmental projects. Join Joy as she discusses the power of modern mapping at Bayard Cutting Arboretum in response to the changing landscape.
9:45A | The Climate Change Garden
The plant palette employed by horticulturists in the NYC metropolitan area has changed dramatically in the last 50 years with many losses and additions. These changes may be attributed to many factors including advances in plant breeding and the advent of new diseases and insect pests. It is global climate change, however that serves as an underlying force driving many of the changes we observe in our local flora. Join Dr. Lehrer as he outlines these phenomena and gives specific examples of local challenges and opportunities.
