As we all know trees are an critical part of the ecosystem, but they also also provide comfort to human beings. Trees add perspetive to the environment and shade for people.
When we found this wonderful parcel of land in Wilsonville, there was a huge hospital building surrounded by acres of rolling fields. Scattered throughout the property were wonderful, tall trees. In transforming this land into a community, many of these trees had to be sacrificed, but we wanted to keep as many as possible.
Large trees simply cannot be transplanted, so we worked closely with land planners and arborists to keep the healthiest trees and integrate them into our new community. Below you’ll find some photos of the lengths we went to retain trees during the demolition of the hospital building as how some of the retained trees were incorporated into the built environiment.
We had some AMAZING crews working out there. Look how close the demolition is to these trees!
Now check out some trees along the edge of the future Piazza Villebois …
And finally see how the trees integrate into a finished built environment. Can you believe we planned the streets around the trees?
