Reading the landscape closely

Before restoration plans were drawn, the team spent months observing the wetland through different tides and seasons. Residents added memories of where water once moved and which plants had disappeared.

Design follows what the site reveals

Those observations changed the plan. Instead of imposing a fixed shape, the project reopened natural water paths and created conditions for native vegetation to return.

Knowledge held in common

The wetland is still teaching the team. Monitoring results and community observations continue to guide each phase of the work.
