Goodscapes is an active member in the Bay Area community.
We participated in the Mission District's Synergy School renovation and installation of an edible native green landscape. This project reclaimed an old parking lot built on top of an abandoned railroad track and converted the lot to an outdoor green space. We also built its wooden play structure, and continue to participate in its development. Multipurpose structures include redwood benches for use as a sitting place and also serve as an obstacle course for the gym program.
Goodscapes had the opportunity to work at the Conservatory of Flowers in 2007. In collaboration with a graphic artist and staff, Goodscapes displayed its construction know how in developing Chomp!, an exhibit focusing on carnivorous plants and their threatened status in the world. We enjoyed the opportunity of constructing and displaying the beauty and complexities of botany.
When he was overseas on sabbatical in Oxfordshire, England in 2002-2003, Peter combined teaching nature studies in the local primary school with his involvement in the development of Breach Wood. Peter and the children collected, propagated, and planted native woody plants, a key element in restoration work. The Hailey Community Woodland Project on which Peter worked, was presented to the Prince of Wales on behalf of the Trustees of Hailey Community Woodland and Oxfordshire Jubilee Wildlife Spaces Project.
