For my final project in Harvard Graduate School of Design’s SCI6318: Urban and Town Ecology, I conducted two field days, during which I traveled by car, bicycle and sometimes scooter across Boston’s Emerald Necklace. This system of parks, designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted, provides a variety of ecological and recreational benefits to the City of Boston and its residents.


My final report can be found here
