Parks, trails and natural area projects

The relationship of people and nature is always at the heart of projects with parks, trails and natural areas.  Endlessly fascinating, this relationship varies from person to person, culture to culture.  In contemporary society our public dialogues have many perspectives on the value of natural resource protection, on people benefiting from experiences of nature and from the sense of community created by people being outside together.  The best projects draw on these conversations and put together a rich experience.


The projects listed below were completed by a large team of people.  Janet’s role was typically project manager or manager of staff on the project.
