Lecture: Public Parks: Care and Cultivation of Fort Williams Park

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 7 PM, Public Parks: Care and Cultivation of Fort Williams Park


Moderator, Terrence DeWan, Landscape Architect, with Bill Brownell, Fort Williams Advisory Committee, Lynn Shaffer, Steering Committee, Arboretum at Fort, and Dick Gilbane, Friends of Goddard Mansion and board member Greater Portland Landmarks

Current initiatives seek to find sustainable funding models for Fort Williams, preserve the park’s history, character, and architecture, and to define and provide appropriate visitor amenities. These include efforts to maintain the ruins of the Goddard Mansion, to establish a new arboretum, and to keep access to the park free to individual visitors.
 
Each program will include a moderator plus three speakers representing a variety of perspectives related to the topic followed by discussion with the audience. All programs take place at the Maine Historical Society, 489 Congress Street, Portland.
