Mark has over ten years of experience in urban wildlife
issues and landscape management, with a special emphasis on working with
homeowners, developers, and policymakers on ways to manage and design
residential developments for wildlife. In particular, he is developing
educational programs that will help homeowners manage their yards and
neighborhoods for wildlife. He has published in Landscape and Urban Planning,
Urban Ecosystems, and has several book chapters on urban design and its
effect on wildlife. Currently, Mark and his graduate students are working
with several developers to establish wildlife management strategies in
communities that are billed as “green” developments.
Mark's experience and research focus
includes:
• The effects of urban landscape design on wildlife distributions from
small to large scales
• Residential community design and management for wildlife
• Environmental education programs for residential communities |
