🌷 For Women’s History Month, we have been introducing you to the amazing women on the Io LandArch design team. On this last day of March, we'd like you to meet Sydney, landscape designer for both our community design and residential studios. Sydney brings a unique blend of interpersonal finesse and design acumen to her role as a designer and project manager at Io LandArch. Having previously worked as a dental hygienist, Sydney has honed exceptional communication skills which seamlessly translate into her work within the realm of landscape architecture.

The Fort Douglas and Stilwell Fields site has a long and fascinating history, some of which was captured in the HALS short form study and Section 106 report we completed. Have you visited Fort Douglas?

🏆 We're thrilled to share that Susan Crook, Io LandArch's co-founder, has received an "Industry Expert" award in the Architecture Category for the 2025 Preservation Utah Community Stewardship Awards. As a pioneer in historic landscape architecture and a trailblazer for women in the field, Susan has broadened perspectives and raised awareness about the importance of historic landscape architecture, and has been a consistent force for change in a profession that has historically overlooked the significance of historic landscapes. Susan's expertise is evident in her work on numerous significant sites across Utah and her legacy in historic preservation is profound. As a result of her efforts, communities have benefited from increased awareness of their shared history, educational opportunities, and improved cultural tourism, and numerous site's stories have been documented. We are so grateful for her contributions to preserving Utah’s historic landscapes, including cemeteries, residential areas, and city landmarks! #preservationutah #communitystewardship #historiclandscapes #awards
