etowah regional greenspace plan
The Institute of Ecology received a grant from the Georgia Forestry
Commission to complete an eight-county upper Etowah Regional Greenspace
Plan. The results from this project may also be used as part of the
Etowah Aquatic Species Habitat Conservation Plan, Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan, and an Alternative Watershed Build-Out
Analysis for the Upper Etowah Watershed.
Two teams of graduate students from the Institute of Ecology, School
of Environmental Design, and School of Law worked on the Greenspace
Plan as part of the Etowah
Practicum. They presented their work to planners and elected officials
from the Etowah counties, and incorporated their feedback and suggestions
into the Plan.
