2019 Reciprocal Admissions Program AMERICAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2019 RECIPROCAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Participating Gardens, Arboreta, and Conservatories For details on benefits and 90-mile radius enforcement, see http://ahsgardening.org/gardening-programs/rap/find/statebystate Program Guidelines: A current membership card from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) or a participating RAP garden entitles the visitor to special admissions privileges and/or discounts at many different types of gardens. The AHS provides the following guidelines to its members and the members of participating gardens for enjoying their RAP benefits: • This printable document is a listing of all sites that participate in the American Horticultural Society’s Reciprocal Admissions Program. This listing does not include information about the benefit(s) that each site offers. For details on benefits and enforcement of the 90- mile radius exclusion, see http://ahsgardening.org/gardening-programs/rap/find/statebystate • Call the garden you would like to visit ahead of time. Some gardens have exclusions for special events, for visitors who live within 90 miles of the garden, etc. Each garden has its own unique admissions policy, RAP benefits, and hours of operations. Calling ahead ensures that you get the most up to date information. • Present your current membership card to receive the RAP benefit(s) for that garden. Each card will only admit the individual(s) whose name is listed on the card. In the case of a family, couple, or household membership card that does not list names, the garden must extend the benefit(s) to at least two of the members. Beyond this, gardens will refer to their own policies regarding household/family memberships. Some gardens may require a photo ID. • The 90-mile Exclusion policy allows a garden to exclude members of gardens within 90 miles of it from receiving the RAP benefit(s). For AHS members, the exclusion is based on their home address. Please contact the garden you belong to or the garden you plan to visit to inquire about their enforcement of this policy. • Remember that the gardens you visit rely on admission and donations to maintain their collections and gardens for all to enjoy. Please support them by visiting their gift shops or making a contribution.

At that time, Don’t Miss Biologist Edison was being pressed by the Attorney General to divest of assets like West Kesseler Woods to offset JON REGOSIN the costs of restructuring and deregulation.

  • Natural Resources Group Forest Restoration Team Planting Report Fall 2010
    Natural Resources Group Forest Restoration Team Planting Report Fall 2010 Dear Parkie, The Natural Resources Group (NRG) moved closer to our PlaNYC goal of planting over 400,000 trees throughout the city. This past fall we planted over 30,000 trees in 2 properties in all five boroughs. Our current tally stands at 222,188. Furthermore, we planted over 7,000 shrubs and over 4,000 herbaceous plants Our primary goal is to create and restore multi-story forests, bringing back the ecological richness of our region. Healthy multi-story forests provide cleaner air, cleaner water, and increased biodiversity. NRG again hosted the Million Trees volunteer day. Volunteers and Parks’ staff planted 21,806 trees altogether. Without volunteers and the support of the Agency, and our institutional and community partners, NRG would not reach its planting goals. Below is a summary of fall 2010. • Containerized trees planted by the Forest Restoration Team: 27,130 (2009: 26,139) • Containerized trees planted through contractors: 4,332 (2009: 9,652) • Balled & burlapped trees planted through contractors: 58 (2009: 267) • Containerized shrubs planted by the Forest Restoration Team: 5,701 (2009: 4,626) • Containerized shrubs planted through contractors: 1,492 (2009: 0) • Herbaceous plugs planted by the Forest Restoration Team: 4,540 (2009: 18,528) • Hosted 11 volunteer events with a total of 341 volunteers (2009: 32, 468) Sincerely, Tim Wenskus Deputy Director Natural Resources Group Total Plants Planted Trees 31,520 Shrubs 7,193 Herbaceous 4,540 Grand Total 43,253

  • America's News English
    America's News English Late, sure, but Chicago thinks big - Millennium Park opens, finally, with weekend bash starting today Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Friday, July 16, 2004 Author: KEVIN NANCE Let no one say that Chicago does anything halfway. For evidence to the contrary, look no further than Millennium Park, the $475 million downtown showcase boasting work by some of the world's most prestigious artists and architects, finally opening with a three-day, $700,000 bash starting today. Sure, it's four years late and $325 million more expensive than originally planned, but the 24.5-acre park -- with its exuberant centerpiece, architect Frank Gehry's Pritzker Pavilion -- is a brash and brawny testament to Chicago's vision of itself as a world-class city. Lois Weisberg, Chicago's commissioner of cultural affairs, compares the Millennium Park project to the city's effort in 1893, when it hosted the World's Columbian Exposition, which drew an astonishing 27 million visitors. "That attitude of those people of a century ago is exactly the same as Mayor Daley and the people who created Millennium Park," Weisberg says. "They know that in Chicago, you do things big." And just as in 1893, tourists are expected to flock to see the City of Big Shoulders thinking big. "There's no question about it," says park chairman John Bryan. "Remember, 600,000 people went to Bilbao, Spain, to see Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in its first year, and now we've got a new Gehry masterpiece. We've got pieces by world-class artists Anish Kapoor and Jaume Plensa.
