Jason Husveth (RU LA '95) talked about how he is engaged in design at the interface of LA and Ecology. A key moment along the path was his participation in the EDAW Summer Study Program in Rocky Mountain NP. Another interesting stop along the way was his time at Great River Greening. Soon he focused on his work throughout Minnesota looking at wetlands, land cover and ecological design. As a designer at CCES, he started designing for more species than just humans. His work at the Anoka Sand Plains forced him to learn about a landscape that was relatively foreign to him, including the plants and the landforms.Jason's talk highlighted the path that our ecologically-minded students can pursue. As he said, this means more reading and writing than it does drawing and designing, but it is fulfilling and has a great impact.
