2017 ASLA MERIT AWARD

The Basalt River Restoration has been given an award by the Colorado Chapter of the American Society for Landscape Architects as a model project that enhances human interaction and connection to a riparian corridor. The Roaring Fork River bisects the mountain town of Basalt, creating both opportunities and challenges for this Western Slope community. Working closely with in-house ecologists and an engineering consultant, DHM collaborated to bring stability to the river, allow for natural flood processes, repair the riparian habitat, and restore water systems.
