Collaboration with eco-artist Jackie Brookner. Three separate but related
projects, designed to address the issues and environment unique to each
of the three sites.
 Hoquarten
Interpretive Trail
Tillamook, Oregon
The Hoquarten Slough once served as a water route to Tillamook,
Oregon, for fishing boats entering the city from the Pacific Ocean.
Before European settlement, the Tillamook Indian Tribe hunted and fished
in and around the slough's rich natural environment. The Hoquarten Interpretive
Trail, to be built along the banks of the slough, will illustrate the
history of the area while also providing a safe pedestrian and bike
path.
 Clark's
Creek Greenway
Puyallup, Washington
Clark's Creek in Puyallup. Washington is a two-mile long waterway that
emerges from underground artesian springs and flows to its confluence
with the Puyallup River. Puyallup is a suburban area in the greater
Puget Sound region about 30 miles south of Seattle. Local environmental
groups are developing a plan for the creation of a greenway corridor
along segments of Clark's Creek.
 Indian
Creek Daylighting Project
Caldwell, Idaho
Located near Boise, in Caldwell, Idaho, Indian Creek flows through
farmlands, rural communities, and under downtown Caldwell. The Indian
Creek Daylighting Project will uncover and restore a 900-foot stretch
of the creek, capped and piped since the 1950's. This project is a priority
for the City of Caldwell and its citizens who believe that Indian Creek
has the potential to become a great natural and economic asset for the
community.

Park Service Rivers and Trails Program, Art and Community
Landscapes (ACL). ACL supports site-based public art as a catalyst
