After joining the volunteer session with Josh from the Friends of Philly Gardens and Sheffield City Council, I caught some photos to add to my landscape management visualization. Imagine giving this management plan to a volunteer or to a member of staff in the Parks Department and following these questions to ask myself: Are you clearly telling them what you want them to do and where? This is where the landscape management map can be invaluable.
