Perhaps best known for his work on zoos and arboreta where
the firm has established an international reputation for
excellence, Grant has worked on most of the firm's noteworthy
development, urban design, river basin and waterfront park
and recreation projects. He has won national recognition for
his work in environmental planning and design, as well as
for his efforts in research and education.
Since establishing Jones & Jones in 1969, Grant Jones has
built a nationally-known practice in river planning and
analysis. Beginning with the Nooksack River Plan, one of the
first of its kind, Jones & Jones, under Grant Jones' guidance,
has developed both a broad base of technical expertise and
a deepened respect for the uniqueness of each new planning
challenge - the general methodology of the early Nooksack
Plan has been expanded upon both in systems analysis and
in practicality of implementation as exemplified in the Yakima
River Greenway Plan and subsequent Jones & Jones river
planning studies.
Mr. Jones has extensive experience in the analysis and
assessment of natural resource systems and has done extensive
research into the character and sensitivities of riverine
environments. River planning studies for which Mr. Jones
served as Principal-in-Charge include the Nooksack River Plan,
the Skagit Wild and Scenic River Study, the Green River and
Environs Study, the Yakima River Study, and the recently
completed Roanoke River Regional Greenway Study.
Jones & Jones, under Grant Jones' direction, has also
received numerous project awards and honors for waterfront
park and shoreline reclamation projects including the Union
Bay Teaching and Research Arboretum Study (site study and
analysis for siting of a teaching and research facility on an
abandoned landfill in Seattle, Washington); Gene Coulon
Memorial Beach Park in Renton, Washington (reclamation of
a mile-long shoreline, formerly the location of logging and
other water-related industries); and Newcastle Beach Park in
Bellevue, Washington (preservation of natural habitat, stream
relocation and park design and construction for one of the
few remaining natural wooded landscapes in an urban
environment along the shores of Lake Washington).

Ronald Lee Fleming

Ronald Lee Fleming utilizes his public interest advocacy role
to address issues of place, meaning and identity. An alumnus
of Pomona College and Harvard University's Graduate School
of Design, Mr. Fleming is recognized for planning, public art,
and urban design projects which seek to merge the skills of
architects, historians and artists. The Massachusetts Historical
Society nominated his trilogy, The Power of Place, for a Pulitzer
Prize in 1982. It includes Place Makers: Creating Public Art That
Tells You Where You Are (second edition, 1987), On Common
Ground: Caring for Shared Land from Village Green to Urban
Park (1982), and Facade Stories: Changing Faces of Main Street
and How To Care for Them (1982). The series examines how
objects, spaces and building fronts build constituencies for

proprietorship. He was the founding chairman of the
Cambridge Arts Council and the City's One Percent for Public
Art commission. His most recent book, conceived with his
wife, is New Providence: A Changing Cityscape, which illustrates
how an imaginary but typical American city evolves from 1910
to 1987. He is the Governor's appointee to the Massachusetts
Historical Commission and a board member of The Victorian
Society in Philadelphia.

Duane A. Holmes, Branch Chief, Technical Assistance,
Grants and Assistance, National Park Service, Rocky
Mountain Regional Office

Duane Holmes received a degree in Environmental Planning
from the University of Colorado. He has been involved in
river planning for many years, first with the Bureau of
Outdoor Recreation which later became known as the
Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service. Accom-
plishments with those agencies included studies analyses for
the Dolores, Yampa, Green, Gunnison and Colorado Wild
and Scenic River Studies. Duane has also provided technical
planning assistance on several river revitalization efforts in the
Rocky Mountain Region.
Duane's responsibilities with the National Park Service
include managing the River and Trail Conservation Assistance
Program in the six-state Rocky Mountain Region. In that
capacity, Duane has organized river planning and management
workshops for the states of North Dakota and Utah. The
assistance to North Dakota resulted in a statewide comparative
river value assessment and a cooperative corridor management
plan for a segment of the Missouri River.
