Share your thoughts, ideas, and comments on the new Cool Spring Preserve green infrastructure concept plan!
Host: Matt Pennington, Downstream Strategies
Free and open to the public. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult participant. Registration is not required but filling out the RSVP is appreciated for planning purposes.
On Tuesday, March 4th Matt Pennington from Downstream Strategies will be presenting the concept plan for future green infrastructure at Cool Spring Preserve. The growing community demand for the preserve is exceeding our capacity and we need to make updates to the visitor services such as the parking lot. Our goal is to meet the community need while still protecting the sensitive ecosystem we have committed to preserving through the use of strategic green infrastructure. This is a community forum where Matt will present the draft of the concept plan and then open the floor to questions, comments, concerns, and ideas. Light refreshments will be served. There is also the option to listen in to the presentation via Zoom.
Schedule:
4:00 – (optional) come early to walk around the preserve and see the areas where improvement is needed and change is proposed. No Zoom option for this portion.
5:00 – indoor presentation by Matt Pennington. Zoom option available.
Important Details:
- Activities: The first (optional) part of the meeting will include a walk around the preserve. Primarily near the building. We will then go inside for the presentation of the concept plan.
- Restroom: Indoor, flushing restrooms will be available.
- Parking/Where to Meet: The Case Nature Center has a private parking lot.
