The Park at Wolf Branch Oaks, Mt. Dora, Florida

A dentist attending one of my conservation design workshops asked me to look at a property he had purchased for investment purposes, but which he did not wish to wreck in the pursuit of money. An aerial photo enabled me to spot the greatest concentrations of live oaks in his cow pasture and to design around them easily, creating a 13-acre park in the center of his 80-acre rural neighborhood.
