Join us on one of Denver's most iconic parkways for a morning of measured drawing with fellow emerging professionals. We will briefly discuss the late 19th and early 20th century parkways that give Denver its urban form and work together to produce basic scaled drawings of the cross section and plan of Monaco Parkway. Learn to identify some of the key tree species along the parkway including American Elm and Ponderosa Pine. Techniques for measuring the height of trees will be demonstrated.
