Matt Baumgarten

For more than 15 years, Matt Baumgarten’s interest in large-scale natural systems planning and design has resulted in resilient landscapes with lasting cultural and environmental impact. His design style focuses on the creation of immersive experiences that are grounded in ecological science and technical execution, and seeks to convey a softer, more contemplative sense of place.

Particular project interests include ecological restoration, watershed planning, innovative stormwater management techniques, park design, and the creation of multi-use trail facilities. Matt’s work has won several national and international awards, and he has been selected to lecture on topics ranging from large-scale creek restoration, greenway planning, and low-impact development to “agri-hood” based community design.
