The Times just published a piece on , the transformation of an abandoned industrial site into an ecological waterfront park in Norwalk, Connecticut. Check out the beautiful photos by Iwan Baan! EDD is leading the Natural Resources design for the site, focusing on preservation, enhancement, and restoration of the saltmarsh, terrestrial forests, and shoreline habitats.

Check out this exclusive piece in Canada’s “The Globe and Mail” (the country's newspaper of record) on the next stage in the urban development of Toronto’s old Downsview Airport lands into a new district called YZD, "converting the remnants of aviation into a framework for civic life.” American landscape architects Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc (MVVA) have just been named to lead the next stage of the transformation. eDesignDynamics will be supporting MVVA by organizing sustainability guidelines for future development, focused on stormwater management and urban ecology.

EDD IN THE NEWS: Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced the groundbreaking for the buildout of major elements of Sojourner Truth State Park (STSP) in Ulster County, including a new swimming facility and bathhouse pavilion.

eDesignDynamic's scope in STSP included restoration planting throughout the site. Specifically in this region of the park, EDD designed native restoration planting zones which surround the 'lake beachfront', including hardy, regional species which can adapt to the wide range of environmental conditions and atypical soils of the quarry site. EDD developed novel planting typologies to allow for tree and groundcover material to successfully establish in-situ within the quarry rock face and steep slopes of the site.

EDD also completed restoration designs which will be constructed in a future phase: Adjacent to the swimming pavilion, EDD developed plans to enhance and restore wetlands just south of Quarry Lake (now known as Lake Sophia). These wetlands will employ a 'hummocks' planting method to create microtopography which allows the restored wetland to adapt to varied hydrology conditions between wet and dry seasons. The design intent is to develop a closed-canopy system to minimize the threat of non-native and invasive plants which tend to thrive in disturbed, post-industrial landscapes like Sojourner Truth State Park.
