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.

SUMMARY:Olmsted Now: Greater Boston's Olmsted Bicentennial Community Open House
DESCRIPTION:Register for this event here!\nApril 26 will be the 199th birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted\, whose Brookline firm designed parks in Boston and beyond for our shared use\, shared health and shared power. Olmsted’s vision — to make public open space better for all — grows more historically significant and more urgent every day. 2022 will not only bring Olmsted’s bicentennial\, but also OUR opportunity to actively shape a shared vision for a more equitable\, verdant and vibrant city. \nAs organizers of Olmsted Now: Greater Boston’s Olmsted Bicentennial\, the Olmsted National Historic Site (steward of his Brookline firm)\, the Emerald Necklace Conservancy (steward of his park system across Boston) and our growing coalition of over 50 partners join in welcoming YOU to this virtual Community Open House. \nLearn more about Olmsted’s public work — spanning journalism and abolition\, public health and emergency relief\, urban planning and natural preservation against privatization — and why\, 200 years later\, Greater Boston and other cities around the country will host initiatives that reanimate Olmsted’s ideals. Hear about our values and goals for Olmsted Now\, meet our amazing partners\, share your park stories and ideas\, discover great resources\, upcoming events and many ways to get involved! \nFor more information\, visit www.olmstednow.org.
