Flora & Faunal Report

Creating space for wildlife to thrive is among the most vital services that Origin Park can deliver for our region. The diversity of plant and animal species that could utilize this urban waterfront and wetland zone is simply staggering. To provide these species the space and habitat they require to thrive requires active, intentional, and thoughtful stewardship. To begin this work we first have to understand the plant communities that exist here. Think of it as knowing our neighborhoods and their residents.  We then look forward at trends impacting the site’s environmental viability and resilience.

This report by Applied Ecological Services is the foundational data from which planners begin to shaping a new, healed, and restored landscape that will bring incredible wildlife experiences to life for you, the future park guest. In doing this work, Origin Park provokes a new idea on what a waterfront park can be – we REWILD our urban core!
