vue - From landscape architecture to conservation agriculture | Thomas Woltz | TEDxCharlottesville
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Landscape Design Thomas Woltz is the principal and owner of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects (NBW) with offices in New York City, Charlottesville VA, and San Francisco CA. During the past 19 years of practice, Woltz and his staff have forged a body of work that integrates the beauty and function of built form and craftsmanship with an understanding of complex biological systems and restoration ecology yielding hundreds of acres of reconstructed wetlands, reforested land, native meadows, and flourishing wildlife habitat. Currently NBW is entrusted with the design of 8 major public parks across the US, Canada and New Zealand. The firm’s work has been recognized with over 80 national and international awards and published widely. In 2011, Thomas Woltz was invested into the American Society of Landscape Architects Council of Fellows, among the highest honors achieved in the profession, and in 2013, named Design Innovator of the Year by the Wall Street Journal Magazine.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Beswaarlijk is een belangrijk woord en ik zeg ook dat aanstoot een enorm belangrijk woord kan zijn elk met zen eigen kracht van betekenis en dan de wil die daar achter zit dat recht te trekken dat de aanstoot eigenlijk bepalend is voor of het te doen of het te laten
-
weet je ik heb het down gekregen tot enkel beswaarlijk in de kop wat ik echt denk van oke problemen noemen is eigenlijk gewoon uw beswaarlijkheden kenbaar geven oke
-
als ik data kan geven geef ik echt alles alleen als het tegen koppen gaat stoten het is mijn kop die dan gestoten kan worden omdat ik zit te stoten heren

@Jim Quinlan, are you asking for the estimated value of the ecosystem services provided by such restoration? or? It seems to me that the benefits to the community are blindingly clear.. perhaps the question is, who are you defining as "the community" in this question?
-
Can you give numbers on cost, source of funds, and benefits to the community?
