Leaders for the environment

I enjoyed the opportunity this morning to speak about smart growth and PlanMaryland to the Howard County Legacy Leadership Institute for the Environment. The group, known as HoLLIE, asked some very challenging questions. What was most impressive was their continuing committment to fostering an educated dialogue about environmental issues. The program is in its fourth year, but this is its first year meeting in the also very impressive James and Anne Robinson Nature Center off Cedar Lane in Columbia.

New Buddy: HoLLIE

I had the opportunity the other day to speak about Smart Growth in Maryand to a group called the Howard County Legacy Leadership Institute for the Environment, or HoLLIE for short. The group’s mission seems very commendable: People with various work-life experiences enroll in a course where they hear from speakers in various fields related to the environment,
