A Great Reference for Coastal Restoration ☆ Phipps Ocean Park
This note simply spotlights an outstanding work of coastal restoration from the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach because it is such a great example for every municipality on our coast. For details, see the pdf: Phipps Ocean Park Project.
Excellent Park Ideas
A coastal restoration center. "Amid a thicket of trees and coastal strand vegetation, the nursery/propagation facility teaches children and adults about environmental advocacy through hands-on activities that restore native coastal ecosystems in the park and throughout the island."
12,400 square feet dedicated to growing native species for the park and Town of Palm Beach.
Educational panels interpreting the local ecosystems. New educational programs for K–12 students. Allows visitors to learn by experiencing and interacting with historical ecosystems.
"Our design response called for working with simple natural materials, which will capture the heritage spirit of the place and blend with the native planting."
