An Arboretum? An Art Park? A Migratory Bird Sanctuary? Yes! Van Der Brohe Arboretum weaves many ecological goals into its re-development of a 65 acre former golf course in Two Rivers, WI. A network of public trails creates a setting of parterres which feature display forests, prairies, meadows, wetlands, thickets, food plots, and art installations. Trail intersections form “Franciscan Gardens”, designed to maximize both amenity and avian support.
Join Mr. John Durbrow as he leads you through the planning process and describes how multiple layers of restorative activity are overlaid to accentuate the value of this unique open space. Actual construction will begin in Spring of 2020, with the installation of the trails. Thereafter, public involvement in seeding and plantings will bind VDBA into the community fabric as it evolves into an ecological landscape.
