Based on his book Beauty of the Wild, published by the Library of American Landscape History in 2021, the talk is part memoir, in which he tells stories of people and places that have inspired him and were important in the development of a philosophy: that our designed landscapes should be (1) ecologically sound, (2) experientially rich, (3) “of the place”, and (4) dynamic, changing over time.
