Nashville: Naturally Davidson County Open Space Plan

Hawkins Partners was a part of the planning team, led by The Conservation Fund, that developed the Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County Open Space Master Plan. The project was a joint public/private effort between The Land Trust for Tennessee and the Metro Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

​

In addition to public workshops, the plan involved coordination and outreach with multiple City departments (i.e. Public Works, Water Services, Parks, etc.) and many non-govern-mental organizations (i.e. Land Trust for Tennessee, Cumberland River Compact, etc.).

​

The project inventoried critical natural and cultural resources for the City’s entire 526 square miles and created a plan for conservation and development of these resources.  HPI also led a focused open space study of down-town as an element of the countywide plan.
