SUMMARY:Film Premiere & Panel Discussion: "Franklin Park—Boston’s Imperiled Public Landscape"
DESCRIPTION:Based on Ethan Carr’s award-winning book\, Boston’s Franklin Park: Olmsted\, Recreation\, and the Modern City describes the landscape Frederick Law Olmsted designed in 1885 as the centerpiece of a unique municipal park system known as the Emerald Necklace. Weaving together interviews with the author\, park advocates\, and park users\, the film traces its decline\, caused by patterns of institutionalized racism on the part of the city of Boston\, and the heroic efforts of local residents to save it from ruin. Now\, as the city is poised to spend millions of dollars to improve the park\, the film presents an important crossroads: “As we look forward to the city—finally\, after decades of official neglect—investing major amounts of money in Franklin Park\, the question is how should the city move forward?” \nA panel discussion on the future of Franklin Park moderated by Keith N. Morgan\, President of the Library of American Landscape History\, will take place following the film premiere. Panelists include: \n\nEthan Carr\, Author and professor\, University of Massachusetts Amherst;\nLouis Elisa\, President of the Garrison Trotter Neighborhood Association\, founding member of the Franklin Park Coalition\, and community advocate;\nRenee Stacey Welch\, Jamaica Plain resident\, community advocate\, and member of the Franklin Park Defenders;\nKaren Mauney-Brodek\, President of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy.\n\nRegister below.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Peoples Day Plant and Tree Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Aquinnah Wampanoag artist and cultural steward Elizabeth James-Perry on an educational nature walk! This guided\, family-friendly activity will highlight Indigenous cultural cuisine\, architectural tribal uses and responsible stewardship practices in the lands and waters now known as the Back Bay Fens. \nRegister below. If the registration form does not appear\, try opening this page in an Incognito/private browsing window. \n\n \nAbout Elizabeth James-Perry:\nInternationally known 2023 National Endowment of the Arts Heritage Fellow Elizabeth James-Perry is an enrolled Aquinnah Wampanoag whaling descendant who engages with Northeastern Woodlands cultural expressions primarily in sculptural wampum carving\, naturally dyed textiles\, and watercolor paintings including the Bear Map series. Her work explores the connections between the arts\, sustainability\, Native identity and sovereignty\, maritime traditions and environmentally restorative Native gardening. Her garden project Raven Reshapes Boston was part of a year-long collaboration with artist Ekua Holmes to bring diversity to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. James-Perry has a Marine Science degree from the University of Massachusetts\, Dartmouth\, attended Shoals Marine Lab\, and Rhode Island School of Design CE\, and holds a certificate in Digital Tribal Stewardship from Washington State University. She was an advisor for many years for the New England Foundation of the Arts Native program\, gave workshops in the Evergreen College Longhouse Program. For over a decade she was employed first with the Natural Resource Department and then the Aquinnah Tribal Historic Preservation Office\, she was the Federal Tribal Co-lead of the Northeast Regional Ocean Planning Body and participated in the United South and Eastern Tribal Conferences as a member of the Heritage and Culture committee. \nAcknowledgement:\nFor millennia before and in the centuries since Frederick Law Olmsted designed the Emerald Necklace park system\, the lands and waters of and around Greater Boston have served as a site of exchange among communities including the Massachusett\, Pawtucket\, Wampanoag and Nipmuc peoples. The Emerald Necklace Conservancy acknowledges the Greater Boston region as their unceded ancestral territories. This acknowledgement is a starting point toward right relations with Indigenous neighbors and their understandings of land stewardship. \n  \nView other Opening Our Doors programming here. \n \n  \n  \n  \nThis event is supported in part by:

SUMMARY:Save Olmsted Spaces: Franklin Park
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Olmsted Network \nOn March 5\, the Olmsted Network will host a special webinar on the proposed demolition of White Stadium in Boston’s Franklin Park. We’ll be joined by historian and author Ethan Carr (moderator)\, Emerald Necklace Conservancy President Karen Mauney-Brodek and community leaders Louis Elisa and Renee Stacey Welch. \nFranklin Park\, often called “the jewel of the Emerald Necklace\,” is the last great rural park designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Today\, unfortunately\, 40% or 200 acres of Franklin Park cannot be accessed freely by the general public— and the threat of commercialization continues to grow! \nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER

SUMMARY:Conversations with Olmsted: What Ever Happened to Parks for All People?
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Olmsted Network \nParks for all people was one of Frederick Law Olmsted’s guiding principles. Nearly 200 years before the environmental justice movement\, he designed parks as democratic spaces. Today\, in too many places\, these public spaces are under attack\, viewed as building sites where access can be limited to those with money and power. This free webinar will examine distressing trends across the country and examine what can be done to ensure parkland is viewed as an essential public amenity. \nThis panel discussion will be moderated by writer Bonnie Jean Feldkamp (Louisville\, KY) and feature Derrick Evans (Boston\, MA)\, Bronwyn Nichols Lodato (Chicago\, IL) and Wyman Winston (Milwaukee\, WI). \nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER

SUMMARY:2025 Muddy River Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for this year’s Muddy River Cleanup!\nThe Muddy River Cleanup is a part of the Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup; this event takes place throughout the Charles River Watershed and builds on a national effort as part of American Rivers’ National River Cleanup® which\, to date\, has removed over 25 million pounds of trash from America’s waterways. From 2016 to 2019\, the Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup was recognized by American Rivers for the Most Pounds of Trash Collected and Most Volunteers Mobilized.​ \nThe Charles River Cleanup brings together over 3\,000 volunteers each year to pick up litter\, remove invasive species and assist with park maintenance along all 80 miles of the Charles River. Residents are drawn to the popular Charles River Cleanup from a desire to give back to their community while enjoying the beauty and wildlife along the river. Volunteers hold onto the connections they establish during this day of stewardship by returning to the Charles to exercise\, play and enjoy nature throughout the year. \nTo lean more and register for the cleanup\, click here
