Woodstock Site Planning

Description

An "Adapting Woodstock" site planning charrette was sponsored by the City of Bellingham Parks & Recreation Department and the Woodstock Farm Conservancy.  On July 25 & 26, 2008, charrette participants met to define preferred visions for opening and adapting the Farm for public use as part of the City's greenway system.  Findings of the charrette will be considered in future public meetings and used to develop an officially adopted site plan.

Charrette participants considered a wide range of information including the reference articles listed below.
