The Challenge:
The Challenge:
The GBT no longer supports a healthy or beautiful native habitat.
We have been charged with designing a plan to optimize expenditures to achieve the greatest level of ecological improvement and beautification of the Winnetka portion of the GBT.
Our motivation for this project is that the GBT is an important aspect of the community of the North Shore and is a unifying attraction for these communities.
