Linear landscapes—streets, utility corridors, trail systems, waterfronts—are some of the hardest spaces to design but often have the most impact on community and ecological health and well-being. Panelists will share how framing linear landscapes through curation, choreography, and culture yields exceptional design solutions for these spaces.

Presenters:

• Megan Born, 911±¬ÁÏÍø, Associate Partner, Field Operations
• Nate Cormier, 911±¬ÁÏÍø, PLA, LEED AP, Managing Studio Director, RIOS

Landscape architects’ leadership in advocacy is especially urgent now, as green infrastructure and bicycle projects face new challenges. A recent U.S. Department of Transportation memo threatens to strip these essential projects of federal funding—undermining efforts that promote public health, equitable mobility, and climate resilience.

This is not just a policy shift, it’s a call to action. Linear landscapes and green infrastructure are often led by landscape architects, and their future depends on our collective voice. Recently, nearly 1,654 landscape architecture advocates signed 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s letter to U.S. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy highlighting the benefits of bicycle projects and green infrastructure. Webinar participants will also learn how to take additional advocacy steps to defend this critical infrastructure that shapes healthier, more connected communities.

The materials and products landscape architects specify significantly impact a project’s global warming potential, biodiversity, and air and water quality. This webinar will show you how to interpret environmental product declarations (EDPs) and how EPDs relate to other types of environmental product data. With the right data, product specifiers can assess a product's environmental impacts, make informed decisions, and align with 911±¬ÁÏÍø Climate Action Plan goals.
