Meet the Team
Emma Voegelin
Founder/Owner
Emma founded Little Bird in 2004. After years of working in the landscaping industry, she saw the need for a new kind of "landcrafting" company. Little Bird practices organic stewardship to the land that has placed in our care. Our belief is to harmoniously integrate native and curated landscapes. Emma's last name Voegelin, translates from German to "Little Bird" inspiring the name of our company. This represents our passion to create and maintain spaces for birds and other tiny creatures.

She worked alongside Emma for many years, before she turned in the shovel for the guitar and moved to Brooklyn to pursue her music.
