Urban Ecos offers consulting services to landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning, and engineering firms who wish to increase the environmental sustainability of their designs. With a background in landscape architecture and urban ecology, we speak the language of both design and science. Our experience includes:

• Guidance to developers of a neighborhood-scale development on ways to maximize the environmental contributions of trees through strategic planting.
• Working with a local middle school to plant trees to conserve energy.
• A number of publications aimed at the intersection of design and ecology.
