April is World Landscape Architecture Month – a time to celebrate the vital role landscape architects play in shaping resilient, sustainable, and inclusive communities.
As climate change intensifies, our profession stands at the forefront of innovation – designing with nature, not against it. At BSC Group, we’re proud to be part of this movement, creating spaces that address environmental challenges while enriching lives.
BSC is bringing this vision to life through the following impactful projects:
Greening Lord Pond Plaza (Athol, MA) – Transforming a concrete plaza into a vibrant, green urban oasis that addresses urban heat island effect, manages stormwater, and invites community connection.
Island End River Living Shoreline (Everett & Chelsea, MA) – Redefining coastal resilience by creating innovative ecosystem habitats that support wildlife - where traditional infrastructure must be storm-hardened to manage flooding from rising sea levels.
Island End River Daylighting (Everett & Chelsea, MA) – Softening hard infrastructure through innovative soil design, sustainable irrigation, and adaptive management -bringing living shorelines to life as part of river daylighting efforts.
These are more than projects - they're hopeful steps toward climate adaptation and environmental justice.
To all the landscape architects pushing boundaries and planting seeds of change - this month, and every month, we salute you.
