National Park Service: John Reynolds |
| The
National Park Service-now steward of 379 units-has traditionally
been the largest employer of landscape architects in the United
States. From large-scale land planning to cultural landscape
inventories, landscape architects have worked in the national
parks at all levels. They have created transit centers at the
Grand Canyon and Yosemite, restored wetland areas at the Everglades,
and performed visual resource analysis at the Blue Ridge Parkway.
One landscape architect, John Reynolds, has held several high-ranking
positions at the agency, including deputy director. "Landscape
architects," he says, "will always have a major role to play
in the Park Service." |

Municipal Practice: Scott Reese |

Reese is a landscape architect and assistant director of the
parks and recreation department for Glendale, California, a
suburb of Los Angeles. In addition to providing ample park space
for Glendale residents, Reese works closely with the community
to ensure that these parks are safe and secure. The town's Palmer
Park, for example, is designed for active use during the day,
but it also employs an inward-curving, wrought-iron fence to
keep out intruders at night. |
