The intent of the David Dunlap Observatory Lands Planning and Conservation Management Study is twofold: first, to establish a Conservation Management Plan that assists in managing and protecting the property’s heritage attributes; and second, to develop a land use vision and strategic direction for the future of the site that will celebrate its uniqueness and special value. Staff from the Town and Planning Alliance (the consulting firm retained to lead the David Dunlap Observatory Lands Planning and Conservation Management Study), will describe the study process, what a conservation management strategy is, and how it will guide the future vision of the David Dunlap Observatory Lands.
