Episode 5 of Open Door takes us to UVA’s Morven Sustainability Lab, a 2,913‑acre historic landscape 12 miles beyond central Grounds. There, we meet Elizabeth K. Meyer—Merrill D. Peterson Professor of Landscape Architecture and Morven’s first faculty director—to explore Morven’s layered histories, ancestral lands, and living archives. From an 1801 land survey commissioned by Thomas Jefferson to more than 100 years of farm journals, this episode examines how archival materials, geology, land use, and memory shape place‑based sustainability.
