INVENTORY & ANALYSIS
To inform the development of the master plan for Beargrass Preserve, the project team has performed an inventory and analysis to better understand the physical, cultural, and biological makeup of the site. The inventory includes a high-level, graphical summary of the data collected and reviewed to support the development of this master plan. The inventory will be followed by a site analysis, which synthesizes the findings from the site inventory to establish different landscape zones within Beargrass Preserve. By identifying these zones, the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, the project team, and the public will be able to begin imagining the future activities and amenities that should occur within each zone. When the site analysis is completed, it will be shared on this page.
