The naturally-evolving landscape can serve as a model for designed landscapes, even in urban settings.We will look at designed landscapes that have been “re-wilded” to see the potential of this approach. In addition to being ecologically sound, they can bring the beauty of “the Wild” into the places where people are.

Landscape Architect Darrel Morrison FASLA, FCELA, has been a teacher of ecology-based landscape design for over four decades, and has designed landscapes at the New York Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Storm King Art Center and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, among others. He has served as Dean of the University of Georgia College of Environment and Design. He is currently an Honorary Faculty Associate in the Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
