20-Year Vision Plan
The Perkins & Will design team led Visioning Sessions with key stakeholders of Blue Heron Nature Preserve. The purpose was to engage staff, board members, and volunteers in activities and discussion in order to understand their goals, vision, opportunities and preferences for the future of the Preserve. Completed in November 2021, stakeholder sessions were formatted to provide bold insight and direction as the program, planning, and design of the Blue Heron Nature Preserve continues to evolve for the next decades. Our thanks to Perkins & Will for amazing work!
