Conference Proceedings (Video) from Leading with Landscape III: Renewing San Antonio's Brackenridge Park Summit
TCLF's sold-out Leading with Landscape III: Renewing San Antonio's Brackenridge Park summit, held on March 3, 2017, at The Stable at Pearl, featured nationally prominent practitioners and other leaders who explored options for the park's future and initiated and inspired broad community-based participation. Convened in concert with the Brackenridge Park Conservancy (BPC) it drew attention to local, regional, and national project work that are exemplars of planning and design, while striking a balance for a landscape’s complex natural, historic, cultural, and ecological systems.
