How we talk about land shapes what we do - and what we don’t do - with land.
Thomas Woltz says “The land is full” - and “We have a responsibility to let the land tell its stories.”
He is owner and senior principal of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects - based in New York and Charlottesville, Virginia.
On Thursday, he will be the next speaker for CIVIQ, presented by Chattanooga Design Studio - in partnership with the Trust for Public Land - starting at 5:30 PM at the downtown Chattanooga Public Library.
The title of his talk: “Landscape, Memory and Truth: Unlocking Histories Hidden in the Land.”
I spoke with Thomas - and Ginger Birnbaum with the Studio.
