Biography
Britt has established her landscape architectural career around greenway and trail placemaking, natural resource-based recreation projects, and active community design and planning. She co-chairs Alta’s National Trail Service Area, leads the firm’s east coast Landscape Architecture practice, and is an expert on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) along trails. Britt serves nationally on the East Coast Greenway Alliance Board of Trustees and locally on the Chattahoochee Parks Conservancy Board of Directors. She has worked collaboratively with engineers and planners, urban designers and in a volunteer capacity across the country to develop projects that activate communities and improve the quality of life. Britt has a strong technical understanding of the design and construction challenges associated with public trails in all types of landscapes and infrastructure palettes, and as a result brings a unique understanding of user experience associated with linear space.
