Rick Manning Landscape Architect (RMLA) is a landscape architecture consulting firm located in Ithaca in Upstate New York's Finger Lakes region. RMLA is involved in a variety of projects, including greenways and trails, bicycle and pedestrian plans, parks, transit and health facilities, and both private and public gardens. The services I provide include site design, planning, fundraising, construction oversight, and production of educational and interpretive brochures, panels and reports. I work with clients, communities, and other professional consultants on projects that promote active living, create beautiful public and private outdoor spaces, and help contribute to the development of more sustainable communities.
