Carol Maxwell has a unique skill set as a restoration ecologist and landscape designer. For over 10 years, she has been incorporating the diverse needs of stakeholders while enhancing ecological resources. Her project portfolio includes various park designs from art parks to trail design around sensitive plant communities to large-scale planning and ecological restoration projects and visual impact assessments for offshore wind. The products have been valuable and engaging public spaces with measurable results, including increased public use, reduced impacts, and improved ecological diversity. She is flexible in all design phases, including leading botanical surveys, performing site analysis, and creating conceptual plans and construction documents.
