Abstract By Traci Michelle Degerman, M.S. Washington State University May 2007 Chair: William G. Hendrix As development consumes more land once occupied by natural ecosystems, there is an increasing need for design professionals possessing the knowledge, skill and desire to imbue their works with properties of nature. No longer simply a matter of reduced aesthetic quality and social disconnect from the natural world, the disruption of ecosystem processes by development is accelerating the pace at which the environment is losing its ability to cope with the byproducts of modern civilization: pollution, resource depletion and loss of biodiversity. Ecologically based design offers a promising means for reconnecting humanity with nature’s processes. The structure of natural ecosystems and their biotic communities provides a template for ecological design which can be utilized for both new developments and the rehabilitation of degraded sites. Ecosystem aesthetics is a set of design principles and practices for creating self-sufficient landscapes iv similar in physical structure and species composition to regionally proximate natural vegetation communities. Benefits of this design ethic include the maintenance of biodiversity, the resurrection or perpetuation of ecosystem processes on developed sites, amelioration of the negative visual impacts of development, and a heightened appreciation for the beauty of natural ecosystems and the essential services they provide. Landscape architects must be both empathetic to the needs and desires of their clientele, and aware of the site’s ecological elements and cultural history. Educating oneself in the local biological and social vernacular will aid in the design process and result in a plan that celebrates the region’s unique character. This project employs the ecosystem aesthetic design principles to create a landscape at Diablo Lake Overlook that will give the public a glimpse of the natural beauty beyond the highway corridor, and return some ecological function to this severely degraded site. Surmountable challenges to the rehabilitation of Diablo Lake Overlook include cost and the availability of materials called for in the design. Long-term management objectives for this site must account for successional change in the vegetation component at the overlook, and determine the appropriate response that will protect both the resource and the quality of the visitor experience. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………………………....iii ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………...iv LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………………………..xi DEDICATION……………………………………………………………………...........xii INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………...1 PART ONE DEVELOPING A SET OF WORKING PRINCIPLES FOR ECOLOGICALLY BASED, AESTHETIC LANDSCAPE DESIGN……….……………3 The Foundation: Properties of Natural Ecosystems……………………………….3 Vegetation associations……………………………………………………4 Communities………………………………………………………………4 Diversity…………………………………………………………………...4 Temporal variation………………………………………………………...5 Distinguishable patterns of species assembly………………………..........7 Aesthetic value…………………………………………………………….7 The Framework: Basic Landscape Design Principles………………………….....8 Consequences of Design Disconnected from Nature…………………………….10 vi Healing the Dichotomy between Human-Centered and Ecologically Based Design…………………………………………….........11 Defining Ecosystem Aesthetics, its Design Principles, Applications and Benefits………………………………………………………..14 Origins of the concept……………………………………………………14 Definition………………………………………………………………...16 Principles and practices…………………………………………………..17 Applications for the practice of ecosystem aesthetics……………………19 Benefits of ecologically based landscaping……………………………...20 Distinctions from other sustainable and native plant landscaping practices…………………………………………………….21 A Critical Difference between Ecosystem Aesthetics and Ecological Restoration……………………………………………………………………….22 Essential References for Developing an Ecologically Based Design Concept…..23 Ecology and ecosystem function………………………………………...24 Natural history of the Pacific Northwest and North Cascades region…...24 Ecologically based design………………………………………………..25 Native plant, sustainable, and naturalistic landscaping………………….24 Landscape construction…………………………………………………..26 Environmental ethics…………………………………………………….26 Human psychology in regards to nature…………………………………26 vii Strategies for minimizing visitor impacts to wilderness: site design and public education………………………………………………………….27 PART TWO A THEORETICAL APPLICATION OF THE ECOSYSTEM DESIGN PRINCIPLES: DIABLO LAKE OVERLOOK…………………………………………………………..28 Overview of the North Cascades Region………………………………………...28 The physical environment………………………………………………..28 Plant associations………………………………………………………...30 The human component: aboriginal residents and European immigrants...33 Land management history………………………………………………..35 Completion of the North Cascades Highway…………………………….36 The Project Site: Diablo Lake Overlook…………………………………………36 Location………………………………………………………………….36 Contemporary site description…………………………………………...37 Shortcomings of the existing situation…………………………………...39 Essential improvements and new features: the design program…………41 Description and benefits of the Diablo Lake Overlook rehabilitation design……………………………………………………...42 Short- and long-term maintenance of the rehabilitation design following installation…………………………………………………….47 viii Lessons from the past: alternative, unrealized visions for Diablo Lake Overlook…………………………………………………………………49 CONCLUSION CHALLENGES INVOLVED IN THE REHABILITATION OF DIABLO LAKE OVERLOOK……………………………………………………………………………..51 Complicating Factors: the Ecological Component………………………………51 Complicating Factors: the Human Component………………………………….54 Long-term Oversight and Maintenance………………………………………….56 Determining the Appropriate Management Emphasis…………………………...56 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………..58 APPENDIX A.

This was not what I saw during my second visit to Diablo Lake Overlook. My view on that blustery afternoon consisted of a broad expanse of asphalt, a few scattered

  • Conservation Landscaping Guidelines
    Conservation Landscaping Guidelines The Eight Essential Chesapeake Elements of Conservation Conservation Chesapeake Landscaping Conservation Landscaping CC CC Landscaping LC Council LC Council This document can be found online at ChesapeakeLandscape.org. Published as a working draft November 2007 Special Edition revised and updated for CCLC Turning a New Leaf Conference 2013 © 2013 Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council ABOUT CCLC The Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council (CCLC) is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to researching, promoting, and educating the public about conservation-based landscaping practices to benefit the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Council is committed to implementing best practices that result in a healthier and more beautiful environment benefiting residents and the region's biodiversity. ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION In late 2003, CCLC committee members began working on a set of materials to help define and guide conservation landscaping practices. The intended audience ranges from professionals in the landscaping field to novice home gardeners; from property managers at various types of facilities to local decision-makers. These written materials have been through many revisions, with input from professionals with diverse backgrounds. Because of the nature of the group (professionals volunteering their time), the subject matter (numerous choices of appropriate practices), and the varied audience, development of a definitive, user-friendly format was challenging. Ultimately, we intend to develop an interactive document for our website that shows examples of the Eight Elements, especially as new technology and research evolves in the future. This document has been reviewed and refined by our board members, and “put to the test” by entrants in our 2008 and 2010 landscape design contests.

  • A Wicked Problem in Sustainable Ecosystem Management?
    1 Landscape beauty: a wicked problem in sustainable ecosystem management? 2 Iryna Dronova1* 3 1Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning, 202 Wurster Hall #2000, 4 University of California Berkeley, California 94720-2000, USA 5 *corresponding author, e-Mail: [email protected] 6 Abstract 7 Recent discourses on sustainable ecosystem management have increasingly emphasized the 8 importance of bundling relationships and interactions among multiple ecosystem services 9 supported by similar natural and anthropogenic mechanisms within the total environment. Yet, 10 the aesthetic benefits of ecosystems, playing critical role in management of both wild and 11 anthropogenic landscapes, have been under-represented in these discussions. This disregard 12 contributes to the disconnection between environmental science and practice and limits our 13 understanding of ecological and societal implications of management decisions that either generate 14 aesthetic benefits or impact them while targeting other ecosystem services. This discussion reviews 15 several “wicked problems” that arise due to such limited understanding, focusing on three 16 recognized challenges in present-day ecosystem management: replacement of natural ecosystem 17 functions, spatial decoupling of service beneficiaries from its environmental consequences and 18 increasing inequalities in access to services. Strategies towards solutions to such wicked challenges 19 are also discussed, capitalizing on the potential of innovative landscape design, cross-disciplinary

  • LA Native White Paper2
    ATTACHMENT 1 LA Native An ecofriendly future for light rail stations www.lanative.org Our goal is simple: get the MTA and Expo Authority to use native species for the station landscaping in phase two of the Expo light rail line. The stations for phase two of the Expo Line present a perfect opportunity to create multiple pockets of native landscaping that will reduce water and fertilizer use; create vital islands of native habitat for birds, butterflies, and other species; and serve as public educational showcases of our native plant varieties, encouraging our citizenry to make better, sustainable choices for landscaping. We were stunned to discover that essentially no native plants were used in phase one of the Expo Line construction. The Theodore Payne Foundation (an LA Native member), provides some startling facts: 1) California uses 20% of its energy consumption to move and treat water. 2) Up to 70% of residential water goes to watering landscaping in our county—landscaping we've filled with non-native tropicals and invasive species that consume on average seven times more than our native plants. 3) Unlike the indigenous plants that evolved in our nitrogen-poor soil, non-natives need fertilizers. The abundant use of such fertilizers has become a huge source of runoff pollution in Santa Monica Bay. 4) Landscaping with native plants does not cost more, and in some cases reduces maintenance costs. 5) We've lost 90% of our native songbird and butterfly populations in the last fifty years. This is no coincidence. A primary food source for most of these bird species is butterfly caterpillars.
