A few planters filled with locally adapted perennial and native plants may seem like a small step, but each planter on a downtown streetscape is an opportunity to start a conversation about the importance of ecological systems and the human relationship to them.
Mapping the Way to the Future
Landscapes are ephemeral yet eternal, singular yet ubiquitous, living and inert, and shaped through time by forces as large as tectonic shifts and as small as single-celled organisms. To fully understand landscapes or to capture their essence is impossible and yet, as humans, we must try because they are our very foundation. Landscapes are what root us, nurture us, and inspire us as a species and as individuals.
