Estaría bueno organizar algo con los de la Red que puedan ir al congreso de Ecología del Paisaje de Córdoba. Aprovechar para divulgar sobre la Red y en todo caso ofrecer la adhesión al congreso. Se puede tratar en el plenrio de coordinadores de nodos del 7 de marzo. Saludos.

Algunos ya lo han visto. Vale la pena colgarlo para que lo vea más gente:

I’ve been aware of SSI but hadn’t seen their latest report. Go to: http://www.sustainablesites.org
You’ll find a link to the report on the first page. I must say, the “documentation” requirements suggested in this report read like an undergraduate studio assignment for a year-long class. My recent work on a small LEED project looks like a total of…[Read more]

I am currently working on my senior cap stone B.S. – LA project , which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture). I was curious to see if any one had any unique mitigation techniques or could refer me to a few good case studies.

Note: Buildings are “certified”, people are “accredited” – a possible question on the test according to a USGBC study group I went to. I am taking the test in December.

So interested in constructed wetlands as a ecological system and a landscape element. Any with experience care to share? Finally, any opinion as to its feasibility in arid-desert locations (MTE’s or more severe climes)?

Jeff,

How do I recruit ridiculously creative landscape graphic artists for perspective drawings and collateral presentation documents?

How do I write secure contracts and payments when working over seas to assure payment? Is this a take a…[Read more]

Brandon – Give me some topices to cover and I’d be glad to help in any way.

I am considering a career change into landscape architecture. I have a strong interest in global environmental change, conservation, ecosystem services, sustainability, and how connection with nature benefits human well-being. My background is more environmental science/management, but I am looking for a more creative outlet and the opportunity to…[Read more]

Found some pics of the aboriginal willum

I’ve worked on a lot of other restoration projects, establishing wetlands in industrial estates and often roadside habitats. In heavily farmed areas roadside verges are often the only source of remnant vegetation and can therefore be incredibly important for local gene pools.

We have an aboriginal education team and indigenous bush foods and tools plantings which are just aobut to be extended through a recent grant. They are based out of a beautiful gum leaf shaped shelter that strangely does not appear on our website. I’ll have to take one myself.
