We are a team of landscape architects and communicators finding the qualities that residents value about their special places. Our current work includes outreach and landscape design to improve habitat along the Rio Hondo near Montebello; reduce potable water use at parks in Baldwin Hills, North Hollywood and Paramount; improve to a schoolyard in East Hollywood and create new strategies to expand the urban tree canopy in Los Angeles. Much of our work is built by the Conservation Corps, employing young people learning new skills and improving their neighborhoods. We are committed to learning new techniques and improving our listening skills every day.
