Congratulations to this year's Linda Milbourne Fellowship winner, Scout Kerensky-Coodley who worked on this incredible graduate fellowship project! This landscape architecture project was on the Fort Jay Meadow on Governor's Island in New York. We are very impressed with the work she did to complete this incredible report! We wish her well in her future landscape architecture endeavors. PROJECT GOALS: Public Experience: Welcome visitors to have an immersive experience exploring a natural meadow, with opportunities for public programming and engagement. Invasive Plant Mitigation: Remove the invasive plants in the area, and replace with native grasses and flowers that provide high quality habitat for birds and pollinators. Low Maintenance: Improve site conditions to have a landscape with lower long-term management costs, inputs and requirements than a traditional lawn. Habitat Replenishment: Increase the footprint of important meadow and grassland habitat in New York City, providing high quality wildlife refuge. Climate Resilient: Design a landscape that tolerates drought and reduces stormwater runoff, all while sequestering more carbon than a traditional lawn.

Historic charm meets modern infrastructure: See how Thorold's Front Street nailed the balance. This city preserved their heritage architecture while modernizing the pedestrian experience with new sidewalks, quality tree plantings and cohesive street furnishings. They created a downtown that honors its past while building for the future, drawing visitors and businesses back to the heart of the town. Key to the success of urban forestry on this project was choosing quality over quantity - because planting one tree properly beats planting five trees poorly. Read the full case study to see how thoughtful infrastructure choices turned "pretty dumpy" into pretty amazing. https://lnkd.in/eYEYebSN #UrbanDesign #GreenInfrastructure #DowntownRevitalization

Thanks Jay Worth for sharing! Yes, I saw that report too - and thank you for addressing it at SYNKD Live next month. Recruiting and retention are very costly - not only the direct costs, but the indirect costs too. It can also affect morale of the employees around them. Workforce is an issue and always will be an issue as you grow your company.

For over a century, the Pulaski has proven to be an indispensable tool for firefighters facing wildfires in the most challenging terrains, thanks to Ed Pulaski. This dual-purpose design allows firefighters to clear brush, chop trees, and dig fire lines with speed and efficiency. One side features a wide, flat blade for chopping and cutting through vegetation, while the other side has a sharp, mattock-like edge for digging and scraping. Learn more about the origins of the Pulaski fire tool in our new article. https://hubs.li/Q02ykJFN0
