SUMMARY:Hidden Gems: Revival of the Muddy River within the Emerald Necklace
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by Park Watershed \nThe story of the Emerald Necklace\, (aka Muddy River riparian corridor) reveals how landscapes along urban waterways provide essential ecosystem connectivity. The Emerald Necklace Conservancy fulfills the aspirations of Hartford native\, Frederick Law Olmsted by hosting a spectrum of activities along the irregular path of the Muddy River. Revitalization of Boston’s Emerald Necklace is rooted in ambitious conservation goals of the late 19th and early 20th century. The impressive\, historic scale of conservation can inspire communities to respond to the climate crisis with a new\, 21st century parks movement. \nThis event will review the history of the Muddy River within the Emerald Necklace with guest Karen Mauney-Brodek of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy\, and will summarize the efforts of the Olmsted 200 movement with guest Barbara A. Yaeger of the National Association of Olmsted Parks. \n\n \nRegistrants for this event agree to receive communications from Emerald Necklace Conservancy and Park Watershed\, with the option to unsubscribe at any time.

Fresh air. \nSpring is here. \nMake me a gathering place \na safe place \na resting place \nLet the children play \nlet the runners run- let there be a moment to rest and a moment to love. \nLet there be first dates and old friends and new friends and light. \nLet the sun shine\, the breeze blow\, let the geese take flight. \n  \nPOEM # 3 \nBy:  Sam Feldman \nWhat is rebirth? \nWhat does it mean to grow? \nThrough autumn leaves and fallen snow \nThe spring is here and flowers come \nAnd birds add to the quiet hum \n  \nTo change \nTo turn a page \nTo re-arrange \nTo re-estrange \nAnd be regained \nTo stop the flood \nTo a come undone \n  \nUnfinished\, as you are \nAnd be unjudged \n  \nTo delight in the small and good things \nThat come and go on birds wings \nTo honor the land on which we stand and plan for the future \nTo unapologetically and empathetically be. \n  \nRising marks the culmination of Boston Conservatory’s new\, credit-bearing summer course called Beyond Walls: Performance in Public Space\, led by acclaimed artist and entrepreneur Maria Finkelmeier of MF Dynamics\, who garnered praise earlier this year for her inventive multimedia public space project\, Hatched: Breaking Through Silence\, at the Hatch Memorial Shell in Boston.
