This powerpoint presentation will discuss the challenges and successes of major landscape enhancement works at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) over the last 5 years. The talk will focus on how sustainable building practices, ecological site design, and wildlife management all played a role in the transformation of an area on Sea Island, Richmond that covers over 3000 acres . The project was awarded a CSLA National Honour Award for Excellence in Landscape Architecture under Landscape Management in 2010.
