Background

About Peter Marotta

I care about the dynamic relationship between nature and people by designing, preserving, photographing, exploring, building, and researching the landscape in Massachusetts, New England, and beyond. In my work, I desire to have a positive impact on how nature cares for us and how we care for nature. I believe experiences in nature are vital for human health, and in all my work I aim to connect people to the natural world around them.I’m an experienced regional leader in cultural landscape preservation and a skilled design professional. I’m an award winning and published landscape photographer with work featured by The Trustees of Reservations, Appalachian Mountain Club, Mass DCR, and L.L. Bean for promotional, marketing, and social engagement. I’ve used my research on the land use history of designed and vernacular landscapes in New England to offer educational lectures and landscape tours. I’ve guest lectured at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site, and offered a series of lectures in Hingham, MA at the Hingham Historical Society and Hingham Public Library.
