| I dedicate this publication to honor the memory and legacy of
Sharon Ossenbruggen (1943-1998), my colleague and friend. It has been both
a pleasure and a privilege as we forged a partnership that spanned nearly
twenty years, sharing a cumulative, evolving vision that exemplary build
landscapes with trees could (and must) be created with a sensitivity to
integrating both ecological and cultural connections. .................................................................................................................— Mary Reynolds |
