[Community_garden] Community-initiated green/open space creation using ecological principles

[adam36055 at aol.com]

We do, Ms. Silvera - they are called community gardens. 
 
There are many splendid examples near Berkeley and within a day's drive of you to visit. Please check the attached ACGA web page for their web links.  http://communitygarden.org/links.php#Gardens
 
In general, the American Community Gardening Association website, http://communitygarden.org/ , is an extraordinary source of the kind of information you need.  Please read it. 
 
It will help you work towards the kind of questions you need to ask. 
 
Best wishes, 
Adam Honigman

Subject: [Community_garden] Community-initiated green/open space creation using ecological principles


Hello,

I am writing to ask if anyone knows of projects in the early stages that 
meet the following criteria:

1. green/open space project
2. located in an urban neighborhood
3. initiated by a community group
4. community is very involved in planning and the physical development 
of the project
5. the project is environmental/ecological, for example example: bird 
preserve, "green street" (stormwater management), woodland restoration

I am deeply appreciative of your help.
Thank you.
