Online survey opening to gather feedback
VANCOUVER – In early December, Clark County Public Works, Parks and Nature, will share the latest concepts for a public access improvement project at the 78th Street Heritage Farm. The community is invited to participate in an open house on Dec. 11 to learn more about the latest concepts and share feedback with the project team. A survey, also opening on Dec. 11, will be available at the open house and online.
This project includes the design and installation of a restroom and shelter pavilion, and a concept for a publicly accessible trail, to be constructed in the future. The future trail will provide opportunities for walking, wildlife viewing, relaxation and connection with farm programs. The project is the first step to implement the master plan update, approved by the Clark County Council in 2020. The plan’s goals include making the farm more welcoming and accessible for farm users and the greater community. The facilities included in this project will expand public access and support existing farm uses, helping the community enjoy the farm property and learn more about its rich cultural heritage.
