Join us outside!

Now in its fifth year, our "Inside/Out" series of landscape architecture site tours continues across our region. Prioritizing issues of climate and health, equity and resilience, each tour will discuss ideas and implementation as we explore these landscapes together.

Our 2024 series begins in Northampton, Massachusetts, on the campus of Smith College, near Paradise Pond.

This tour will be led by landscape architect Signe Nielsen, FASLA, whose firm, Mathews Nielsen, recently completed a master planning effort and its robust engagement process: a 20 year vision that guides this historic Olmsted landscape toward a more educational, inclusive, and climate resilient campus. She'll be joined by landscape architects from Berkshire Design Group, Dodson & Flinker, and Fuss & O'Neill -- all of whom are now designing -- or have just completed -- the first wave of implementation projects of this master plan.

We will explore.
