is a small firm practicing environmental analysis, design and planning. The ecological emphasis of the firm focuses on the documentation, protection and enhancement of natural resources on a regional level, and public environmental education and community outreach on a local level. We utilize environmental design and construction, lectures, gallery and site installations to broaden the public's understanding and appreciation of the native landscape. Further, we are capable of completing promotional materials using graphics, computer illustrations and web design to market and publicize concepts and planning for local and regional projects.
Private work includes: Site analysis, historic research, landscape design for corporations, private homes and estates, country farms and city townhouses.  Being located in New England, private work includes designs for coastal conditions, seaside gardens and landscapes, coastal bank restorations, pond reclamation, stream corridor enhancement and natural storm-water runoff retention systems. Sustainable farm and habitat restoration to encourage bio-diversity and plantings for wildlife are specialties.
