The Linda Loring Nature Foundation is undergoing the development of a master plan. The goal of this project was to evaluate the draft master plan and prioritize actions based on stakeholder and community opinion. We implemented a survey to solicit general and targeted responses from various user groups and conducted interviews with stakeholders to solicit supplemental opinions and insights. We make several recommendations regarding actions the LLNF should pursue, prioritized according to the survey and interview responses. We suggest additional improvements regarding accessibility, community engagement and outreach, property maintenance, and interpretive materials as well as refinements for new educational and research programs.
