| Conservation Subdivision Design |
| Workshop Highlights |
| |
Enthusiastic participants and good weather helped make the Conservation Subdivision Design workshop a success. The workshop started with a presentation by Randall Arendt describing the four step process of conservation subdivision design and his showing of many examples of conservation subdivisions throughout the U.S. Later in the evening, participants broke out into groups and designed their own subdivisions and then had a chance to view what other groups did.
Good weather on Friday made everyone glad they were on a field trip! Participant got the opportunity to experience the common open space of one of Siepmann Reality's subdivisions in Waukesha County.
Many thanks to all of our co-sponsors and participants for making this workshop a success!
Randall Arendt has provided the following examples of conservation subdivision open space management plans for anyone who is interested. Thank you, Randall!
