About Sherwood
Sherwood is a civil and environmental engineering firm that is committed to investing in and embracing people, communities and the environment. Our team has delivered net zero energy and net zero carbon systems, net positive water systems, resilient coastlines, natural resource protection, green streets, living roofs and more for thousands of clients in the region and across the globe. We specialize in sustainable infrastructure, water management strategies, green building design, and systems based solutions for infrastructure and landscapes. Our focus is on the conservation and management of the consumption of all site resources — carbon, energy, water, and waste. We’ve worked on over thirty award‑winning projects, and our work has been published locally and internationally. Founded in 2003, our award‑winning projects include Hudson Yards in New York, San Francisco Better Streets Plan, Greater New Orleans Urban Water Plan, revitalization of the iconic waterfront Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the 35 square‑km Baietan Urban Area Plan in the heart of Guangzhou, China. Our mission is to engineer an environmentally and socially regenerative planet. Will you join us?
