DCH believes investment in environmentally sound green improvements enriches the economic, psychological, and physical well-being of the urban and built environment. Based on this philosophy, DCH provides green advice for public landscapes through a number of partnerships with public agencies such as Delaware Department of Transportation, Delaware Department or Natural Resources and Environmental Control, and University of Delaware. DCH has formed a separate planning and design service, Regional Landscape Enhancement, with the assistance of University Extension Specialist Dr. Susan Barton and horticultural consultant Rick Darke to address challenging public landscapes, particularly roadsides, with ecologically sound approaches. Through Regional Landscape Enhancement cooperative projects such as ENHANCING DELAWARE HIGHWAYS , the Alopocas Park expansion, Two Christina Crescent along the Wilmington Riverfront, and landscape management plan for the Brandywine Valley Scenic Byway, we are dedicated to preserve and expand upon landscapes reflecting the natural and cultural beauty of the State of Delaware To learn more about DCH’s public landscape consulting, contact Gary Schwetz, Director of Programs, at (302) 658-6262 ext. 111. |
