Career

Watson Salembier (2020–)

Salembier co-founded Watson Salembier with Julia Watson on April 22, 2020, formally launching the studio as a landscape and urban design practice focused on local, site-specific interventions and rewilding.[1][2]

Under Watson Salembier, Salembier led rewilding installations at Rockefeller Center's Channel Gardens, replacing traditional ornamental plantings with layered native plant communities intended to support pollinators and biodiversity in Midtown Manhattan.[2][3]

Additional projects completed under the Watson Salembier name include the landscape for a converted Cotswolds barn retreat designed by Turner Works.[4]

Rewild Landscape

Salembier later became the sole principal of the studio and rebranded the practice as Rewild Landscape, expanding its focus on rewilding, biodiversity, native planting, and ecological design.[5]

Rewild Landscape is organized into three studios: Rewild Design (landscape and planting design), Rewild Plus (implementation and stewardship), and Rewild Advisory (consultation for architecture and landscape architecture firms). The studio operates from offices in New York City and Sagaponack in the Hamptons.
