Meet Our Speaker
Ethan Beeson
District Landscape Architect & ISA Certified Arborist TxDOT | Houston District
His career with TxDOT began in 1997 as a design technician in the Bryan Area Office of the Bryan District. A year later, he moved to Houston and began working in the Houston District Maintenance office. In 2016, he briefly left TxDOT and served as the Project Manager for the Hermann Park Conservancy and managed the award-winning multi-million dollar Hermann Park Master Plan update. Upon returning to the Houston District in 2018, he has continued to support a wide variety of design, construction, and maintenance projects. In 1999, he assisted with development of the Green Ribbon Project (GRP). The GRP is the Houston District Corridor Aesthetics and Landscape Master Plan which guides structural aesthetics of roadway corridors and landscape development throughout the District. When the GRP was developed, it was the first districtwide plan of its kind for DOTs across the country. In 1993, Ethan graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and later completed a Master of Science in Natural Resource Development, also from Texas A&M University. He became a registered Landscape Architect in 1999 and is an ISA Certified Arborist.
