Interested in a more sustainable approach to neighbourhood development? Ever wanted to be part of a subdivision that is a healthy, happy place to connect with neighbours and the environment? Then come take part in this workshop opportunity on sustainable subdivision planning.
One Tree Orchard is a vision and plan for a sustainable subdivision. It is located on a family-owned, 360 acre plot of land bordering Fredericton’s city limits and the Saint John River. This is the first such project of its kind in the Fredericton area, so it can play a key role in encouraging other developers to become sustainable.
This project has been developing for over a year, with some aspects already planned out – wastewater and storm water management, and conservation areas. However, many other areas have yet to be defined – a community energy scheme, building design, housing ownership, and approaches to forestry and agriculture to meet residents’ needs.
This workshop will be an opportunity to become informed about the work that has already taken place for One Tree Orchard, and to become engaged in the areas of planning that have yet to be defined. Your values and voice matter, and can help make this project a success. Experts will be presenting to guide discussion and work with participants to provide feedback and ideas for the project. Participant ideas will be used to guide planning for One Tree Orchard.
The workshop will take place on the afternoon of Friday, September 17th and all day Saturday, September 18th. The workshop will be held at the site of future development -3606 route 102 hwy.
Interested in taking part? Please contact us to get more information and to sign up. Contact Greg LeBlanc: email greg@fallsbrookcentre.ca
