As well as over 120 current projects in the UK office, we have been working overseas both near (Jersey and Gibraltar) and far (China) from UK offices, while <em>Alshamsi terra firma<\/em> continue to stride the Gulf region and <em>terra firma LT<\/em> their home region (in fact clocking up 5 continuous kilometres across the city of Vilnius with current projects). People have been buzzing between the offices and no one more so than Jamie Liversedge who has been making monthly visits to Vilnius up to Christmas, as well as assisting us here and in Dubai. David Kelly has also done a stint in Dubai and leaves us for their office early next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is good to report that Isla Denton-Thompson, the first of our current 8 graduates on the Pathway to Chartership, passed her exam this year. We are also thrilled that her dad, Merrick, is to become the Institute\u2019s President next year. We have continued liaison with the Landscape Institute and hosted their education officer, Poppy Smith, recently in order to brainstorm ways we can all better present the profession in schools and colleges, addressing the fall off in attracting graduates to the profession (an extraordinary problem to have, you would think, given the profession\u2019s near 100% employment record and its fashionable combination of design and environment).<\/p>\n<p>Projects continue to be at all scales and in every sector but one that particularly caught the news recently was the Muslim Burial Ground Peace Garden that was opened in Woking by the Duke of Wessex in November. It has been the subject of a recent BBC documentary that will be shown on <strong>BBC1 Sunday 3<sup>rd<\/sup> January at 1.15 pm<\/strong> should it be of interest;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.woking.gov.uk\/news?item=0000567287CA.C0A801BA.0000199B.0006\">http:\/\/www.woking.gov.uk\/news?item=0000567287CA.C0A801BA.0000199B.0006<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/MBGPG_HRH_Tours_Garden_With_Zafar_Iqbal.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1752\" src=\"http:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/MBGPG_HRH_Tours_Garden_With_Zafar_Iqbal-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"MBGPG_HRH_Tours_Garden_With_Zafar_Iqbal\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/MBGPG_HRH_Tours_Garden_With_Zafar_Iqbal-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.terrafirmaconsultancy.com\/landscape-architect-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/MBGPG_HRH_Tours_Garden_With_Zafar_Iqbal.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of films, we are in the final stages of having a small 3 minute film clip made of our work at <strong>terra firma<\/strong> and all being well, we should be able to post this on <em>youtube<\/em> and link to it early in the new year.
