thinc design completed a landscape master plan for the Humber Arboretum. The plan focuses on building on the existing layout of trails, pond and lookouts to create a unifying aesthetic vision. This includes visitor amenities such as seating areas, wayfinding and interpretive elements. The plan also illustrates improved trail connections to Humber College, access to and around the pond and formalized/highlighted major entrance points to the pond area. Other key initiatives in the plan include:
- Opportunities for habitat enhancement;
- Better integration of existing uses within the site, and the larger context within the Humber River watershed;
- Enhanced views of the pond;
- Opportunities for wildlife and nature viewing;
- Consideration of connections to the Humber River; and,
- Incorporation of innovative technologies such as habitat islands and water purification through natural systems, where appropriate
