High Line Influences Singapore’s Green Corridor (Video)

December 6, 2011 by Duncan Brine Leave a Comment

  • Preserving Singapore’s ‘Green Spine’ – Southeast Asia Real Time – WSJ

    • …away from the crowds and noise is an unexpected sanctuary: a 26-kilometer, century-old defunct railway connecting Singapore to Malaysia, which environmental groups dream of turning into Singapore’s own version of New York’s High Line, the former elevated rail line that was converted into a trendy urban nature walk through Manhattan’s Meatpacking District and Chelsea neighborhoods.
      ________________________________________________________________________________
      Singapore is positioning to be “A city in the Garden”. Julia and I were there briefly, years ago, moving quickly in the blazing heat in search of shadows at midday. The Japanese and Chinese Gardens in the city center are memorable as are the traveller’s palms, sentries in front of the old Raffles Hotel.

  • Fearing Climate Change’s Effects on the Adirondacks – NYTimes.com

  • A full moon rising over Osgood Pond near Paul Smiths, N.Y. More Photos »
    • Mr. Jenkins, who is the author of the book “Climate Change in the Adirondacks: The Path to Sustainability,” spends much of his time on the water and in the woods, documenting the ecosystem with a notebook and a camera. He thus brings an unusual perspective to the scene. Where a casual observer might behold diversity and continuity, he projects decades into the future and finds absence and loss.

Natural-Landscaping: Lorrie Otto, founder of Wild Ones

April 1, 2010 by Duncan Brine Leave a Comment

  • Local News | Bellingham woman is a warrior against pesticides, an advocate for nature | Seattle Times Newspaper


    • To Lorrie Otto, the manicured expanse of green surrounding most homes is the root of environmental evil she’s spent decades trying to stamp out.

       

    • She founded Wild Ones, a natural-landscaping advocacy group in Wisconsin, of which she’s still a board member. And she continues to be an advocate for natural landscaping and protecting the Earth.

       

    • When Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring” came out in 1962, documenting the damage chemical pesticides did to birds’ eggs and criticizing government officials for unquestioningly accepting chemical-company propaganda, Otto’s campaign against DDT got a boost.

       

    • “When my husband came home with a New Yorker under his arm and said they were serializing ‘Silent Spring,’ I remember dancing around the house thinking: Now everyone will know about DDT,” Otto said.

       

    • “I was just one person,” she says. “Yet, I was the catalyst.”

New NYC Park– the High Line is Open

June 8, 2009 by Duncan Brine 1 Comment

  • First Phase of High Line Is Ready for Strolling – ArtsBeat Blog – NYTimes.com

    • By Robin Pogrebin

    • Standing on a newly renovated stretch of an elevated promenade that was once a railway line for delivering cattle — surrounded by the community activists, elected officials and architects who made the transformation happen — Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg cut a red ribbon on Monday morning to signify that the first phase of the High Line is finished and ready for strolling. (Panoramic view here and a map here.)

      Calling the High Line, which opens to the public on Tuesday, “an extraordinary gift to our city’s future,” Mr. Bloomberg said, “today, we’re about to unwrap that gift.’’ He added, “it really does live up to its highest expectations.”

      The first portion of the three-section High Line, which runs along the Hudson River from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. There are entrances at Gansevoort Street (steps) and at 16th Street (elevator); exits are located every few blocks.
