There is a polluted man-made lake on site, so yes, the plan is to include waste/water processing systems. Some forest trees may be removed for re-use, building walls, shelters, water barriers, etc. Great Ideas:Interplanting, pollinators, apiaries, and community relationships. I've added these all to goals for the space. Thank you Michele.

As you noted, Will Smith included composting and fisheries in his projects. Questions: what natural amenities exist on the 220 acres of "underutilized forest and mowed grass"? (1) Any water? Will your community-interaction "green-space ecosystem" plans include waste-processing provisions? Bog-flow, leading to fish ponds to decrease/eliminate mosquito problems? Or? (2) What will you do with the "forest" trees--cut, use lumber? Design tree-shrub interplantings for your labyrinth? Will you be…

Will your community-interaction "green-space ecosystem" plans include waste-processing provisions? Bog-flow, leading to fish ponds to decrease/eliminate mosquito problems? Or? (2) What will you do with the "forest" trees--cut, use lumber? Design tree-shrub interplantings for your labyrinth? Will you be co-planting the orchard with long-season pollinator flowers/shrubs, to encourage bee, butterfly, bird processes? (add-in apiary to encourage "friendly productive" bees to stay?--keep hives protected from visitors/vice-versa) (3) Relationships with local schools, scouting or other groups to enable children to have guided access/ongoing interaction so they can follow their gardening efforts, learn to train others as they mature?<br />

70 acres of the park is a Disc Golf course. I volunteered at every opportunity last summer. This year, the club elders offered me responsibility of that land. Now, I'm in charge of volunteers and submitting new projects to the city forester. So I have complete access to 70 acres and limited access to ~130 acres.

James, I just found you on Evoke and am already kind of in awe of you. I am eager to learn more about this park. How did you end up with 220 acres?
