EB was one of the UL students who spearheaded the grassroots campaign to “Save the Horse Farm” from commercial development in 2005.   Her goal of establishing a realistic relationship between humans and the environment all started when she read Ishmael.

“I wanted to be outside, save the environment, make the world a better place,” Brooks said. “I just needed to find how I could.”

Now, 10 years later, EB has been named Lafayette Central Park, Inc.’s Executive Director.

Lafayette Central Park is currently working with landscape architects Design Workshop.  Architecture firm Lake|Flato will design concepts for the first set of park buildings. LCP anticipates breaking ground mid- to late-2016.  Ultimately, the park’s tract of 100 pristine acres will feature elements such as walking trails, ponds, spectacular wetland and ravine gardens, an amphitheater, a splash pad, dog park, pavilions and more.
