Anna O'Sullivan

Landscape Architect/Research Assistant

I am a Landscape Architect with a background in horticulture, specialising in sustainable landscapes and planting design. My research currently is focused on the design and implementation of the Integral Health Dairy Farm, featuring wintering block planting, wetland trail and multifunctional browsing modules known as “Tuna”. These modules utilize plant selection strategies that benefit dairy cow health while supporting biodiversity by monitoring insect and bird populations. Looking ahead, I aim to expand this work to explore how landscape design can enrich animal welfare, particularly through soundscaping to enhance the farm environment. My goal is to develop resilient, eco-friendly landscapes that promote animal well-being, ecological health, and sustainable agriculture. Passionate about innovative, multisensory, multidisciplinary solutions, to create environments that benefit both animals, humans and the ecosystem.
