Presenters: Joseph Charap, Thomas Rainer, & Jenna Webster


Institutional and historic landscapes often struggle with excess turf, and the environmentally damaging maintenance practices that accompany it. This is particularly true in cemeteries where grave markers must remain visible and accessible. Through case studies showing design and establishment of “rewilding” projects in Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery and Cambridge’s Mount Auburn Cemetery, our presenters will investigate how an increasing desire for ecologically immersive spaces can help invigorate cemetery and other institutional landscapes.
