Events

Chicago's 1^st Annual Greening Symposium
March 8, 2002 / Garfield Park Conservancy, Chicago, Illinois

This spring 2002 symposium was presented by the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District to highlight Chicago's streetscapes, park systems, and urban greening programs, with an emphasis on the economic and environmental benefits to the private sector.

Mayor Richard M. Daley delivered the keynote address for the conference and sponsored a Preview Night Party of the Chicago Flower and Garden Show, featuring a special 10,000 square foot walled garden created by Robert Isabell and a glass tower by Dale Chihuly.

The Cultural Landscape Foundation had the privilege of participating in this symposium to unveil the first module in the Cultural Landscapes as Classrooms series entitled The Prairie Idealized: Columbus Park.

An Olmsted Odyssey
June 6, 2002 / Glassworks, Louisville, Kentucky

This event was sponsored by the Cultural Landscape Foundation in celebration of the beginning of production of Laying Lightly on the Land, the second module in the Cultural Landscapes as Classrooms (CLC) project. The evening also served as an opportunity to distribute the 2002 Awards in Stewardship Excellence to four organizations that are collectively insuring the protection of Kentucky's extraordinary landscape legacy: The Dry Stone Conservancy, Kentucky Heritage Council, the Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy, and River Fields, Inc.

Thanks to the leadership and hard work of event co-chairs Shaun Duncan and Victoria Williams, the evening was exciting and memorable. As a memento of the special night, guests received an original glasswork known as a "puddle", created by a local Louisville artist named Brook Forrest White.
