The survey results will be considered as a first step while a "master plan" is crafted with guidelines for preserving and improving the green space.
"Jefferson Memorial Forest is a natural gem, not just for Louisville, but for the entire region, and this master plan is our chance to listen and learn from the people who care about it most," Greenberg said in the statement.Â
The master plan covers three phases: Discovery, Framework and Trailhead.Â
The project is now in the Discovery phase, which involves connecting with the Louisville community and gathering input through public events, surveys and listening sessions, according to a news release.
In addition to the online survey, officials from the parks department will be at WorldFest on Aug. 30, as well as at the St. James Art Fair on Oct. 3, to receive feedback in-person.Â
