Talked about #endangeredspecies and my book “Wild and Rare” with @prairiepublic today. Why does Texas sea level rise matter to #NorthDakota birds?

Twin Citians: join me at Lebanon Hills Fri Oct 12 for beers and butterflies... lilies and lagers... parks and pints! Thanks @DakotaCountyMN for the invite. #endangeredspecies #wildandrare https://t.co/GR6f4A4DO1

Tx @bradmckeeee + @landarchmag for making the invisibility of #landarch in national media known, citing the @nytimes piece that failed to acknowledge @SasakiDesign’s prime role or Jacobs Ryan’s work on the #ChicagoRiverwalk! A literacy gap and a lack of curiosity, for sure...

Thanks @FPDCC for a lively “argument” about recreation / conservation. Especially like your fee structure / subsidy pyramid. #NRPAConference

“People expect prairie out in the country, but we have to get it in the community... or we won’t win the day on helping pollinators”: Daniel Gibbins of Linn County Cons. in Iowa, restoring 1,000 acres of prairie on public lands #nrpaconference

Still one of my fave urban design moves of all time: Indy Cultural Trail. And look! Scooter share, electric car share, peds, bikes. Now that’s a complete street. #ICT #indy #NRPAConference

Fascinating talk on #gentrification w @SimplySJG Working w community early matters. @MplsParkBoard we don’t draw any designs until after a whole “summer of engagement.” Parks for people in place. #NRPAConference

#NRPAConference keynote speaker @pkageyama : FUN is at the heart of loving our cities.

I experience this all the time in community engagement work. Need v. Vision+need. #NRPAConference
