D.I.R.T. studio design objectives HEALTH OF THE RUN Take artistic license to help drive toward the goal of increasing awareness of water quality and wildlife habitat and biodiversity.
SIGNS OF CARE Artistically amplify selected elements of the stream restoration to reinvigorate the experience of the Run and raise consciousness and foster care for its watershed.
