Round River Design, LLC is committed to practicing regenerative design. Through strategic collaborations an integrated approach we are developing and implementing solutions to the ecological, economic, and social challenges that face our communities.

Round River Design takes its name from Aldo Leopold's classic text which discussed as a metaphor for ecology and community a mythical river forever flowing around and back into itself, so that a community, its landscape, and its water could never be separate--so that nothing healthy could ever be totally separate. "It is inconceivable to me," wrote Leopold, "that an ethical relation to land can exist without love, respect and admiration for land and a high regard for its value."

Our expertise lies in the design, planning, and implementation of community, land, and water systems through restoration and education. Our consultants design in the context of watersheds - geographic areas that transcend political boundaries (property, town, and state). By integrating productive landscapes with the built environment, we are restoring community, sense of place, and stewardship practices. Example projects include rain gardens, watershed restoration plans, edible landscapes, and more.

Our consultants are able to handle multi-faceted projects or offer specific expertise into ongoing projects in order to enhance the synergistic outcome of our important work. Please contact us for more information.
