The purpose of the project is to provide ecological planning and design techniques to create a thriving and robust suburban community in Lumberton, NC. The project provides a vision for a suburban community that integrates agroforestry practices and stormwater techniques as its main site design system. This project will not only focus on agroforestry practices but on the health and wellness for all systems.
The goal of the project is to propose ecological planning and design techniques focused on education of agroforestry and flood mitigation through stormwater retention strategies. The Linkhaw farm site is located in Lumberton, Robeson County, North Carolina on 540 acres of land, in a predominantly Native American community. The project is composed of urban planning, a historic wetland unique to the area (the Carolina Bay), and an agroforestry farm.
