Ecological Design & Stewardship

Through design, stewardship, and horticultural practice, I work to restore and reinforce the ecological continuity that makes barrier islands resilient. This is a long-view practice—built over seasons, shaped by observation, and guided by the behavior of the land itself. Beauty here is not imposed. It is revealed over time.
