Activity

The portfolio is very very good. The suggestions I have for the portfolio have already been mentioned by the above users.

As far as the website goes, it’s good, but If there’s one thing I have to say about it  was that I had slight difficulty understanding what the website was about at first glance. It seems your homepage for the website  is t…[Read more]

Thanks Dan,
I would like to take part in the seminar.  August 22?
Looking forward to it!

When I look for a job, I surmise that there are too many.  When I look at the built environment around me, I feel that there aren’t enough.
 
This WAS a philosophical question, right?

Leslie:

I appreciate your commentary here. I only posted this job advertisment as a real-world testimony as to where things are in slow slog to recover from the Great Desperation. This ad reflects where things are at with our segment of the design professions, and both of us know that is not better or greatly improved for any of the others. I…[Read more]

Wildlife corridors can provide not just improved access to habitat but ways for people to interact safely with wildlife in ways that don’t disrupt animal communities.
While admitting that the efficacy of these structures needs more study, the Federal Highway Administration thought enough of the idea to develop a design guide in 2011.  There’s l…[Read more]

I’d like to take part in this webinar, when it’s rescheduled.

I’ve sent you an email.  I meant add CELA.  It’s international and they could possibly have some figures for you.  ~A

To Answer my own question… 🙂
I found these great fact sheets by ASLA while doing my online research.  Would love some worldwide numbers…

Will this be available after the fact to if we cant make the scheduled time for viewing at other times?  Or even to revisit and refresh?

thanks!

Im glad I get another shot at seeing it! Did you have a book on the subject as well?

The NJDOT had a couple of these along I-80 (I think).  From what I heard anecdotally from their wildlife people, they are quite effective.  Of course the highway is fenced for miles in each direction there.  From the highway, they look like just another overpass, but with extra-thick (7′ tall!) beams that they placed a lot of fill on.  It was jus…[Read more]

thank you all for your input.  as i see it, the course would be for credit and the project would be managed by a licensed Landscape contractor with student labor as part of the course.  i will be in the situation that if the idea is accepted by the college, i would be the course instructor and handle the administration, with con…[Read more]

Thanks for the effort. I too am determined to attend.  

Glad to hear it-I’m very determined to attend!

Oh, sorry I just sent a message about my troubles on this end. Could reschedule be some other night than a Wednesday? I’ve been lucky 2 choir practices were cancelled but it would probably collide next time. Thanks LW

Amen.  Lectures are one thing–but only one.
