The Velomont Vision Plan envisioned a 485+ mile hut-supported mountain biking and multi-use trail across Vermont. The Velomont Trail represents a bold and inspiring future for outdoor recreation, rural connectivity, and economic development. It’s a game-changer for Vermont’s trail culture, and we’re proud to help bring this vision to life alongside passionate partners.

The St. Johnsbury School Campus Master Plan + Playground Improvements project reimagined a beloved school campus into a vibrant, inclusive community hub. From inclusive play spaces to improved walkability and connectivity, this effort brings joy and accessibility to students, families, and the entire town. It's more than a schoolyard; it's a shared public asset designed for everyday use and year-round fun.


Thank you to the Vermont Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects and the Vermont Planners Association for this recognition and to the team, communities and collaborators who made these projects possible.
