When it comes to visiting our National Parks, there are many features that aren’t considered by the average person. The scenery is beautiful, the wildlife is majestic, but what about the building you stop at for a bathroom break? Or even the road you took to get into the park? As the Branch Chief of Project Management at Grand Teton National Park, Jessica Hendryx-Brown has a very in depth knowledge of just how much work goes into planning and executing the installation of infrastructure and amenities in our National Parks. Between environmental considerations, visitor safety, and accessibility, there are many factors and complexities that must be navigated when making improvements and adding expansions. Join us as Jessica talks about her experience as a landscape architect, as well as her involvement in the many ongoing projects at Grand Teton National Park.
