In September, BSLA students in Studio LA301 visited Adirondack Farm, a historic farm adjacent to Fall River's reservoir, North Watuppa Pond.  This site was recently acquired by the City of Fall River to serve as the location of a "Discovery Center" for the Southeastern Massachusetts Bioreserve.  Over the course of the semester, students will explore how to create a public landscape on the farm that will welcome visitors, build habitat, and help visitors better understand the value of the Bioreserve for regional biodiversity and climate resilience.
