 Please join **Jack Imhof** as he speaks about how urbanization changes the
  water cycle of the landscape\, the implications for ecological and physic

  water resource protection\, resulting in degraded environments. He will a

 risk contributing to degrading these resources.\n\nJack specializes in res
 toration ecology\, watershed science and management and natural channel de
 sign\, and has spent over 50 years working on river and watershed restorat
 ion. During that time Jack has also been an active fly fisher and has fish
 ed across Canada and the USA as well as England\, Australia\, and Argentin
 a. His work has won him multiple awards for his ongoing efforts to improve
  the health and quality of Canada’s watersheds\, including the Conservat
 ion Pioneer Award at the 19th Annual A.D. Latornell Symposium (2012)\, and
  the title of Legend in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences by the Canadian Aqu
 atic Resources Section of the American Fisheries Society (2022). Since ret
 iring in 2017 as the National Biologist and Director of Conservation Ecolo
 gy for Trout Unlimited Canada (now Freshwater Conservation Canada)\, he ha
 s been developing and teaching the Watershed and Stream Rehabilitation Tra
 ining Program of FCC/TUC. During his working career he was a provincial Aq
 uatic Ecologist and Watershed Research Scientist with the Ministry of Natu
 ral Resources and Forestry\, and an adjunct professor at University of Gue
 lph\, University of Waterloo\, Brock University and Trent University. In r

 , each suited to full sun\, part-shade\, or rain gardens with a new additi

 with a complementary selection of native plants that will attract birds\,

 t is designed to cover an area of approximately 2 square meters apart from
  the Bloom[on the balcony] Box.\nDon’t have enough space for a typical g
 arden? We are excited to debut our new Bloom[on the balcony] Box that is s

  oasis on your balcony.\n\nFor more information\, be sure to look at the b
