Talked about #endangeredspecies and my book “Wild and Rare” with @prairiepublic today. Why does Texas sea level rise matter to #NorthDakota birds? tinyurl.com/y7gxksh3

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
When told a hidden construction site would have a playground, people had 17% more confidence in government. This and other facts about parks and civic life during the excellent presentation by @active_design #NRPAConference
Rock climbing at #NRPAConference They even have shoes and chalk! Super cool. Idsculpture.com

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

We are partnering with @MplsParkBoard & the @CityMinneapolis on the Minnehaha Parkway Regional Trail Master Plan. Share your comments on an interactive map: bit.ly/2NCsBw6 #minnehahacreek
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
#NRPAConference Keynote Speaker @pkageyama: Citizens know how to ask for things like fixing potholes, but not necessarily art, parks and fun -- things that connect us with our fellow citizens.
Congrats @lacountyparks winner NRPA innovation award! Parks after Dark: families, mental health, jobs. #NRPAConference

NRPA Chair Jack Kardys: Nationwide, Park’s operations and capital spending for local parks alone generates more than $154 billion in annually and supports more than 1.1 million jobs. #NRPAConference
Basis for all we do at #minneapolisparks @MinneapolisPark :
NRPA Chair @LeonTAndrewsJr:We believe that EVERYONE should receive the benefits of quality park and recreation services, no matter where they live, no matter their background or ethnicity, and no matter what their income. #NRPAConference
