Fanwood Nature Center Restoration | Fanwood, New Jersey Currently overrun with invasive species and deer, this project aims to restore function to the 8-acre Fanwood Nature Center (FNC). GIS analysis, as well as research and personal observations of local vegetative communities informed the species choices for planting plans. In 2018, the project received an American Water Grant for the planting of a test plot, which was implemented in the summer of 2019. Monitoring of the success of plantings is continuously ongoing. Full study available upon request.

Restoration Implemented

Status-Quo Continued

Year 20+

Year 1

Initial removal of invasive species makes room for native understory plantings. Continued invasive removal ensures the establishment of plantings. Deer fence built to protect new plants. 3

Keenan Porter

Stiltgrass, knotweed, and other non- native species characterize the FNC’s forest floor. Deer browse is extensive, preventing many native plants from growing

Lack of damage from deer allows restoration plantings to thrive. Understory plantings are able to self-seed and canopy species regenerate, creating a healthy ecosystem.

Continued deer browse limits canopy regeneration. Few native species establish the understory. Over time, mature trees are lost, leaving the FNC open and bare.

Chestnut Oak Chestnut oak is a component of many New Jersey forest types, but is usually only dominant on dry, rocky, and infertile slopes at high elevations.

Hemlock/Mixed Hardwood

Pitch Pine/Scrub Oak

Prevalent on cool, moist sites including ravines and steep north-facing slopes. The fallen hemlock needles create acidic soil conditions.

Dominant only on the highest ridge-tops in northern New Jersey, as well as the Pine Barrens in central and southern New Jersey. Grows in thin, dry, and infertile soils that are high in silica.

Reveal: Proposed trails and improvements to existing trails will bring site users through newly restored areas of the Fanwood Nature Center. Boardwalks will allow close interaction with these delicate ecosystems, revealing flora and fauna that may have been hidden or inaccessible before. Interpretive and informational elements aim to foster engagement with the ecosystems of the FNC improve the environmental literacy of site users.


Health, Social, and Educational Benefits: The Fanwood Nature Center aims to be a space where people can come to immerse themselves within and reconnect to nature, as well as to relax, rejuvenate, exercise, and socialize.

Recognize: Significant expansion of informational signage and interpretive elements is proposed within the Fanwood Nature Center. Labels identifying native plants and signage explaining ecological concepts intend to help site users recognize the flora and fauna occurring within the FNC, as well as the interactions between them.

Rejuvenate: A world apart from the stresses of daily life, the Fanwood Nature Center acts as a source of respite to those who visit. Plans to expand universally accessible trails and install additional benches intend to create a space where anyone and everyone can come to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy nature.

Central Mattituck Design Study | Mattituck, New York Love Lane is a central location within Mattituck and an important part of its cultural identity. Currently, the retail core is isolated from other spaces due to pedestrian safety concerns from traffic on both Main Avenue and Route 48 as well as limited visual connections between spaces. This study looks at opportunities to translate the existing defining characteristics of Love Lane to other parts of the corridor, create new public spaces within underutilized areas, and improve the connections between these spaces.

Option 2: Removing one or both on-street parking lanes significantly increases the amount of usable space along Love Lane, allowing for the construction of bicycle lanes to improve safety. Widened sidewalks allow for temporary or permanent interventions such as the addition of benches, planters, and outdoor dining.

Bollards

Option 3: Shutting Love Lane off from vehicular traffic between Sound Ave. and Pike St. provides the widest range of potential uses. In addition to sidewalks, the street itself can host outdoor dining, events, and act as a gathering space. Green infrastructure installed along the edges of the street handle stormwater runoff as well as add ecological and ornamental value to the street.

1. South End Park: Currently a degraded woodlot, South End Park proposes a new, ecologicallydiverse public park. Restoration of the space’s understory will provide food and habitat to a variety of wildlife as well as enhance the beauty of the park with a range of native trees, shrubs, and perennials. The main pathway will be an extension of the Love Lane corridor with trails winding throughout so residents can immerse themselves in nature. Movable tables and chairs provide a new flexible community gathering space. 2. Pike Street Plaza: Patio space at the crossing of Love Lane and Pike Street anchors the corner of the intersection and provides new public seating. Its location in close proximity to numerous businesses and Mattituck’s train station makes it an ideal space for shoppers and residents to relax. 3. Village Green: Enhancing existing lawn space at the intersection of Love Lane, Main Road, and Sound Avenue acts as an entrance to the love lane corridor and provides an ideal location for open space to host small gatherings or public events. 4. Mattituck Inlet Park: Currently paved and underutilized, the inlet has the potential to become a characterizing location within Mattituck. A boardwalk will bring people down to the water’s edge, and can act as an educational space to teach about the ecosystem services of important species within the inlet.

Upper Falls Overlook: New proposed overlooks bring site visitors to previously inaccessible areas of the park, most notably the upper and lower waterfalls that give the park its name. Built with diamond piers to minimize disturbance in this ecologically-sensitive area, proposed boardwalks elevate users directly over the rushing water, providing a breathtaking panoramic view of both waterfalls, the Limestone Creek, and the surrounding ravine.

Universally Accessible Trail System: Delphi Falls is characterized by its two waterfalls and deep ravines, which result in steep slopes throughout the park. A key part of this project is to ensure that this difficult terrain is navigable by anyone and everyone, providing equitable means to reach destinations such as overlooks for the upper and lower falls. An extensive system of trails with numerous switchbacks keeps the slopes of paths under 5%, and are completely wheelchair accessible. Delphi Falls County Park


SUNY-ESF Quadrangle | Syracuse, New York Currently an underutilized 2-acre grass field, this design proposes a unique new quad space for the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). The design retains 75% of the space for traditional quad functions, while the remaining 25% will be transformed into an urban forest made up of four gardens highlighting four unique oak ecosystems. This space will improve the ecology of the campus, provide new space for gatherings and activities, and create an outdoor classroom for lessons in the field.

New Spaces and Uses for ESF’s Second Quad 1. Outdoor Classroom: Currently almost two acres of lawn, this design proposes reclaiming roughly half an acre to establish four demonstration gardens highlighting different oak habitats found throughout New York state. These spaces will greatly improve the ecological value of the quad, and also act as a living laboratory where classes could teach lessons out in the field. Every department has courses that could make use of this new space, from plant identification, dendrology, forestry, arboriculture, planting design, a variety of ecology courses, and many others. 2. Space to Relax: Winding throughout the woodland garden is a small path system that allows students and other site users to immerse themselves within a forest without leaving ESF’s urban campus. Benches placed throughout the understory offer places to unwind between classes. 3. Recreation and Gathering Space: In addition to the new garden spaces, roughly 75% of the space retains its traditional use as a quadrangle. An acre and a half of open lawn offers ample space for a variety of uses, including large and small gatherings, events, sports and athletics, as well as a place to work outside or simply sit and enjoy the sun. 4. Green Infrastructure: The oak wetland habitat doubles as a rain garden, helping ESF manage its stormwater runoff through bioretention while also adding ecological value to the campus with a variety of native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials.

Historische Windmolens van Rotterdam Rotterdam, Netherlands Windmills are a cultural icon of The Netherlands, however, many no longer serve their historic purposes. Concurrently, land uses and levels of development have shifted, which has resulted in many surviving mills becoming divorced from their original context. While the landscapes around them changed with the times, the mills that remain have been kept in their historic states. With this in mind, this study sought to understand how these quintessential pieces of Dutch history fit in with their modern surroundings. Full study available upon request.
