Cold and fast running streams flow through the many valleys of the forest. The landscape is steep, with hills and deep valleys. The entire 15,800-acre (6400-ha) site is the watershed, or drainage basin, of Lookout Creek. The HJ Andrews Experimental Forest is located in Oregon, in the Cascade Mountains. To facilitate this extraordinary interdisciplinary collaboration, David has been appointed the first Designer-in-Residence in the history of the HJ Andrews LTER program and the inaugural Design Fellow at the Full Initiative for Productive Landscapes. Additional lectures, exhibitions, and an upcoming series of FIPL-funded landscape installations are in development for in variety of publicly accessible venues across Oregon.ĭavid is indebted to HJA’s Fred Swanson, Lina DiGregorio, and Michael Nelson, UO’s Landscape Architecture Department’s Roxi Thoren, and the Fuller Initiative’s Michael Geffel and Liska Chan for this unique opportunity. In addition to teaching studio and environmental communication course work through the lens of his creative practice, David is spearheading a new design-ecology initiative between the Landscape Architecture Department and HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) with support from the Fuller Initiative for Productive Landscapes (FIPL).Īt present, this initiative includes course work at UO, a wildfire-themed design program at the Overlook Field School with the FIPL, and lectures at Oregon State University, University of Oregon, Spring Creek Project, and HJ Andrews.
