Avondale Estates Regeneration Community

Some areas in Avondale are being transformed into pollinator habitats (including future wildflower meadows!)

These spaces are designed to support:

• Bees

• Butterflies

• Birds

We’ve been spending time at Bess Walker Park recently and noticing some exciting changes especially around the North Woods and lake edges.

With recent work to reduce erosion and improve soil health, these areas are starting to shift.

Have you seen:

• New plant growth?

• Wildlife activity?

• Changes along the trails or lake?

  
  

The City of Avondale Estates has launched a groundbreaking partnership with Roots Down to transform how public green spaces are designed, maintained, and experienced.

This collaboration marks a shift from traditional landscape maintenance to regenerative land stewardship. Our approach prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, water systems, and community connection. We are building a new model for public green spaces: one that is ecologically resilient, fiscally efficient, and deeply rooted in community engagement.

At the heart of this initiative is the Regenerative OS, a system designed to measure, guide, and continuously improve landscape performance.

Across Avondale Estates:

• 33.22 acres of greenspace have been mapped

• 15.83 acres identified for regenerative transformation
