THE CLEARING: SANDY HOOK PERMANENT MEMORIAL
As the local Landscape Architects for this project, we were entrusted with designing native plantings to support the memorial co-designed by Dan Affleck and Ben Waldo of SWA Group, San Francisco. Our role also included overseeing installation and ongoing maintenance to ensure the memorial continues to flourish offering healing and comfort to the families and community.
In 2025 our Principal, Tara Vincenta formed the Friends of Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial (501c3) and serves as the foundation's President to ensure the vision and stewardship of the memorial endures.
