SUMMARY:Olmsteds: Landscapes and Legacies
DESCRIPTION:Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site\, in partnership with the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT)\, will host a three-day symposium as part of Olmsted 200\, the national bicentennial commemoration of the birth of Frederick Law Olmsted\, social reformer and founder of American landscape architecture. The symposium will be held in Boston\, home to the Emerald Necklace\, Olmsted’s last great public project. Adjacent to Boston is Brookline where the Olmsted firm’s home and office resided through 1980. For Olmsted\, “nothing else compares in importance to us with the Boston work…I would have you decline any business that would stand in the way of doing the Best for Boston all the time.” \nThrough events\, education\, and advocacy at the local and national levels\, Olmsted 200 ensures that the legacies of the Olmsteds live on across the country by renewing public and policy commitments to the preservation and maintenance of our historic parks and places. Olmsted Now is the Greater Boston effort\, an inclusive coalition that connects communities and organizations commemorating Greater Boston’s bicentennial of Brookline-based Olmsted with the “fierce urgency of now.” \nRegistration for Olmsteds: Landscapes and Legacies is live HERE. Learn more about the symposium at this link.

SUMMARY:"Making Space:" Olmsted Now Public Dialogue #4
DESCRIPTION:Each third Wednesday of the month\, Olmsted Now welcomes all to a public online dialogue exploring bicentennial themes: shared use\, shared health and shared power in parks and public spaces. Each session tackles a “big question” about park experience through the guiding perspectives of community voices.  \nJoin us on April 20 from 6-7:30 PM for a public dialogue on Shared Power as we grapple with the question “How can we turn the idea of ‘park equity’ into action?” Educator Stephen Lin of Mass Audubon’s Boston Nature Center & Wildlife Sanctuary in Mattapan will open discussion with former students and local colleagues about how to harness greenspace access to center youth healing in the wake of the pandemic\, especially in environmental justice communities. Joelle Fontaine\, Art & Creative Placemaking Lead at Design Studio for Social Intervention will introduce the equity-centered work of Olmsted Now’s Committee of Neighborhoods with the community leaders who will select and fund park programming by focusing on under-represented creatives\, cultural organizers and organizations to activate underutilized parks and green spaces. \nClick THIS ZOOM LINK to register.
