Meeting planned to discuss Picnic Point improvements
The Lakeshore Nature Preserve Committee and staff members from the Division of Facilities Planning & Management will be hosting a public meeting next week to discuss the status of improvements planned for the eastern tip of Picnic Point.
Current plans for an improved fire circle and gathering area will be shared. Removal of invasive plant species, erosion control and renewed views of the campus and downtown Madison are also included in the project. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and provide input.
The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9, in Room 1335 of the Health Sciences Learning Center, 750 Highland Ave. Free parking will be available in Lot 60 north of Rennebohm Hall and in Lot 64 near the WARF building.
The eastern tip of Picnic Point is one of six picnic sites in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve, the 300-acre natural area along the shores of Lake Mendota.
Questions can be directed to Gary Brown, director of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve, at 263-3023.
