Please walk dogs along the park sides – not in the playgrounds or fields. Our park workers clean up dog leavings every day. You may be picking up after your dog, but the city can’t guess who will or won’t. Dogs are simply not allowed there. And some children (and adults) are afraid of dogs. Even your sweet tempered one!

Instead, organize to find a site in this park for a dog run? We probably can only accommodate a small dogs in one of the plots. It would take a lot of work and some bureaucracy to get through.

Perhaps in front of the Broome Street Building? That are could use more active positive use? We have long asked for the cars to be removed – this could be another, better, park-use of that space.

We are entirely volunteer driven with very few funds. So everything we do is from your effort – the effort of our communities.

And…a reminder: adults are not allowed in the playgrounds without children. This is a safety precaution. Not personal.

New York Times Using Science and Celtic Wisdom to Save Trees (and Souls)

– Cara Buckley reporter

Diana Beresford-Kroeger: “medical biochemist, botanist, organic chemist, poet, author and developer of artificial blood…her main focus for decades now has been to telegraph to the world, in prose that is scientifically exacting yet startlingly affecting, the wondrous capabilities of trees.”

under the tutelage of a maternal grandaunt, she was taught ancient Irish ways of life known as the Brehon laws. She learned that in Druidic thinking, trees were viewed as sentient beings that connected the Earth to the heavens. She was also versed in the medicinal properties of local flora..”

“her treasured trees grow, all climate-change resistant to varying degrees: the kingnut, a blue-needled fir and a rare variant of the bur oak. She began creating her arboretum after learning that many key tree species prized by First Nations people for medicines, salves, oils and food had been razed by colonizers centuries ago.”

…and much more….

We are all in this together. Let’s do the real work to ensure respectful working conditions for everyone. Especially vulnerable workers.
