Site Analysis and Public Involvement Help Shape Conceptual Plan for Beaver Pond Natural Area
Landscape architect Mark Garff and landscape designer Marina French presented their analysis of conditions, needs, and possibilities for Beaver Pond Natural Area at a public meeting last night, then discussed questions and concerns with stakeholders. They divided the natural area into four zones and proposed uses in each zone that would best fulfill the need for public use and conservation. Proposed zones included a demonstration zone to draw attention to Thornton Creek, a recreation zone, a conservation zone, and a community zone where local involvement could help the community claim ownership of the natural area. Incorporating public comments as well as their site analysis, Mark and Marina will complete a conceptual design for the natural area. Read more about the project in the Maple Leaf Life article, Restoring Beaver Pond Natural Area a balancing act.
