Silverscape is teaming up with Arnold to create the new website for The Walden Woods Project - an organization whose mission is to preserve the land, literature and legacy of Henry David Thoreau to foster an ethic of environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Working within the creative direction established by Arnold, Silverscape has been tasked with the development of the new website. In edition to educational and information content, the site will feature an e-commerce section to allow visitors from all over the world to purchase writings and memorabilia from the Project. In addition, features like a dynamic photography and video gallery, library search system and interactive map of the Walden Pond State Reservation will allow all site users to experience the unique treasures of The Walden Woods Project.  Last, but not least, the new site will be among the first built on the latest and greatest version of Common Goal WebManager - currently under development - which boasts a new and improved suite of features, all connected via a sleek and friendly user interface.

We at Silverscape were fortunate enough to take a field trip out to the Project site and to visit with the wonderful staff of the Project and The Thoreau Institute. As part of the trip, we were given the opportunity to peruse the Thoreau Institute Library and the collection of original manuscripts, busts and portraits related to Thoreau and the culture he helped to cultivate in his readers' hearts and minds.

We are extremely proud and honored to be involved in the development of the new Walden Woods website, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the folks at Arnold and the staff of The Walden Woods Project in working towards the launch of the new website to help this wonderful Project grow and thrive well on into the future!
