This project focused on a site in Lancaster, Massachusetts with
potential for development that contains possible habitat for rare
species. The practices of low-impact and sustainable
development were investigated and to applied to the site,
keeping in mind the welfare of the possible rare inhabitants.
Three example developments were designed: a typical high-
impact development, low-impact, and low-impact with
increased sustainability. Using the results from our studies and
drawings, conclusions were drawn regarding the different
designs, and recommendations were made to potential
developers and townships looking to embrace low-impact
options.
