It seems like just yesterday our landscape architecture (LA) staff helped guide +60 people along the banks of the Grand River for an educational walking tour of downtown.

The Michigan Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architect’s annual conference was held in Grand Rapids this September, and W&W wanted to help make it a great experience! The perfect weather, talented speakers, and scenic views were a perfect recipe for an engaging field event.
