I’m honored to be the first Designer-In-Residence at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, a 16,000-acre Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site in Oregon’s western Cascades Mountains. The Designer-In-Residence position supports my ongoing design-ecology research and initiative between the Landscape Architecture Department at the University of Oregon and the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. At present, this initiative includes design-research studios and course work in environmental communication theory at UO, a wildfire-themed field school program with the Fuller Center for Productive Landscapes (FCPL), public lecture events at UO and OSU, and an upcoming series of FCPL funded landscape installations and exhibitions in a variety of publicly accessible sites across Oregon in Spring/Summer 2022.
