A UNT professor and a group of undergraduate students in the College of Health and Public Service are using their expertise to help bring much needed green space to a Lewisville community.

The park planning project is a collaboration between the city of Lewisville and UNT's Advanced Environmental Research Institute. UNT Assistant Professor Lauren Ames Fischer in the Department of Public Administration and Lewisville Parks and Recreation Director Stacie Anaya came together to support Lewisville's initiative to ensure every resident has a park within a 10-minute walk from where they live.
