Notable Conservation Subdivision Designs

www.greenwaynews.com/Principles.html This subdivision was designed and created by interested individuals in Buena Vista, VA following a  conservation design workshop that I conducted in nearby Lexington several years ago. Of its 41 acres, 31 (70 percent) have been preserved as permanent conservation lands. This development not only illustrates the design principles that I espouse; it also demonstrates the kind of positive, concrete results which such workshops can generate.
