This educational program invites neighbors to explore how our local greenway can serve both people and wildlifenot as competing interests, but as complementary goals.

Together, well look at the different types of spaces that can coexist within a greenway corridor, including:

Social and gathering areas where neighbors can pause, meet, walk, or enjoy time outdoors together

Everyday-use spaces that support walking, play, dog use, and informal recreation

Naturalized habitats that protect streams, improve water quality, and support native plants and wildlife

Participants will learn how design choiceslike where paths are placed, where vegetation is restored, and where open areas are maintainedhelp balance community access with long term conservation goals.

Examples from our own greenway planning illustrate how elements such as layered riparian buffers, meadows and open spaces, native tree and shrub plantings, and wildlife habitat features can be intentionally integrated without excluding people from the landscape.
