We work with state and local governments, NGOs and private industry to shape cities and regional communities for decades to come. Our work creates functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing environments that promote community engagement, well-being, and ecological health.

Needs Assessment and Strategic Planning
We work with our clients to understand the current and future needs of the community regarding open space, including recreational, environmental, and social needs. We develop a clear vision for the future of open spaces, including specific goals and objectives, and establish policies and guidelines for open space planning and management.
