Dealing with Change in the Connecticut River Valley:
A Design Manual for Conservation and Development

Dodson Associates co-authored Dealing with
Change in the Connecticut River Valley: A Design
Manual for Conservation and Development, an
award-winning book that has sold over 20,000
copies throughout North America and overseas,
together with Robert Yaro and Randall Arendt. The
Design Manual takes an approach based on specific
landscape types and development scenarios found
in the Connecticut River Valley. It proposes an
environmental design approach to development in
sensitive rural landscapes based on historic
traditions, ecological factors and landscape
architectural techniques. Dodson Associates was
responsible for concept development, site selection,
physical planning and design techniques,
illustration, graphic design and writing of significant
portions of the manual. Dodson Associates has
implemented the planning and design principles
developed for the manual in dozens of actual
projects.
Landscape architects and planners located
in Ashfield, Massachusetts. Dodson
Associates has pioneered the use of site
planning and design principles based on
historic precedents and environmental
sustainability to blend new development
with the traditional patterns of
communities. We have earned a national
reputation for innovative planning and
design solutions, demonstrated by 15
years of projects ranging from site design
and construction to planning for America's
great metropolitan regions.
