Floating Wetland

This project involved designing, constructing, and installing a floating wetland in Knoxville’s Third Creek with partners Matthew Harley, Boone Howard, and Lauren Pinkard. The wetland enhances ecological diversity by providing habitat for birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and insects, while its plant species improve aesthetics, water quality, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem health.
