Harlem Valley Rail Trail, Millerton, NY: Trailhead and Bridge to Nature
Nature to Bridge, an outdoor learning space along the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, has received approval from Duchess County. Developed by MKM, this project includes outdoor learning clusters that run from a kiosk on Millerton's main street in New York to the renovated old rail bridge over Webatuck Creek.
MKM's design approach focuses on integrating interpretive signage that complements the local nature and culture. These learning clusters will have layered plantings and a pollinator garden, creating an immersive experience. The space will also include boulder-like seating and scientific learning equipment for interaction and recreation.
Nature To Bridge aims to combine education, nature appreciation, and interactive engagement, becoming a unique destination. Stay tuned for updates as we bring this project to life!
Skyview on the Hudson - North Garden and Dog runs.
In the ongoing involvement of MKM in upgrading the entire campus for Skyview on the Hudson, we have redesigned the north garden and the adjacent dog run. Our redesign encompasses the pavilion and BBQ grill area, seamlessly connected by a stabilizing granite path to improve accessibility. The garden will feature gracefully curved planting beds with flowering bushes and grasses. Within the dog run, we've created two distinct areas, catering to both large and small dogs. A synthetic lawn will cover the entire space, offering engaging elevation changes to keep our furry friends active and entertained. The entrance will feature stone screening on the ground, simplifying waste maintenance. To infuse a natural, jungle-like atmosphere, we've incorporated shade trees and rocks throughout the areas, providing an energetic and playful environment for our four-legged companions.
