A Maryland Highway Gets Greener
When the Maryland State Highway Administration needed to expand MD 301, a highway that runs through the ecologically-sensitive Chesapeake Bay watershed, we factored in the environment from day one, minimizing project delays and costs while protecting sensitive areas.
Ready for Rain In Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District turned to us to implement a better strategy for managing stormwater. Our “GreenseamsSM” team buys and protects key lands to slow runoff during heavy rains. So far, we’ve protected over 2,200 acres with 28 different local governments, not only reduce flooding but also expanding parks and trails.
Nashville Makes New Connections
To keep Nashville’s character intact even as it grows, we developed Davidson County’s first comprehensive open space plan. We mapped every inch of local open space, identified regional connections, held public meetings, organized focus groups and did extensive research to create a plan with 27 actionable recommendations for this one-of-a-kind place.
Chicago Considers 250 Members, 2M Acres — And 1 Wild Plan
Chicago Wilderness, a regional alliance, turned to us to help refine their strategy for conserving more than two million acres across the region. We convened a diverse group of stakeholders, developed detailed maps and identified key strategies for protecting areas with high conservation value.
