29. Don't reinvent, just rewild -- with Matt Stubbs

Matt Stubbs is a Sr. Associate at the Kevin Sloan Studio, an internationally recognized landscape architecture firm based here in Dallas, TX. Matt received his degree in Landscape Architecture from Texas A&M, and he and his colleagues are dedicated to creating spaces where landscape architecture, urban design and the environment meet culture and in turn foster vibrant communities. The Kevin Sloan Studio is at the forefront in our area of addressing environmental concerns through landscaping and has been on our radar for a while now; we're so excited to have Matt on the podcast!

In this episode, we talk to Matt about all things rewilding (or wildscaping). Rewilding is a growing movement that focuses on returning domesticated land back to its natural state, and the Kevin Sloan Studio team members are masters at doing that in an incredibly thoughtful way. Matt talks about a few of the projects they've completed that highlight this landscaping practice and how he goes about thinking about designs that benefit people, the environment, and native wildlife. He has so many nuggets of wisdom to share, one of which was the inspiration for our episode's title: "you don't need to reinvent, you just need to rewild."
