Axel Bishop is a leading advocate of sustainable landscapes, stormwater management, and learning landscapes in the West. He helped found the Xeriscape Council, has redesigned and codified regional stormwater and drainage systems as naturalized recreational amenities, and has forged new educational frontiers in landscape design for school districts in multiple states. He possesses the ability to align citizens and government representatives in support of fundamental changes in land design. Many of his ideas are now common practice across the U.S. He also laid the early groundwork to protect the practice of landscape architecture in Colorado's multi-decade relicensure efforts.
