    SURPRISING JACKSON PARK Nature in the City Nature trail guide for visitors and explorers of all ages. SURPRISING JACKSON PARK Nature in the City This booklet shows people how to use Jackson Park to discover the world of nature. Explorers of all ages can follow the steps describing the history, bridges, lagoons, wetlands, wildlife, and plants of this great Chicago park. Visitors can learn about Jackson Park in many ways. It’s always best to just look around. This booklet will show you how. Nature Trail Committee Jackson Park Advisory Council April Rain Song Let the rain kiss you Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk The rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night And I love the rain. Langston Hughes SURPRISING JACKSON PARK: NATURE IN THE CITY No one can do all of these activities. Do only what interests you or the group you are with. Jackson Park, designed by famous landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, holds beauty and surprises for visitors of all ages. Almost all of Jackson Park was used for the construction of the great buildings of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, but Wooded Island was developed as a place of rest and quiet. Today, 1.26- mile long nature trail on Wooded Island and Bobolink Meadow allows visitors see birds, trees, flowers, and wildlife in a peaceful setting never far from the hustle and bustle of the great city.

  • MIDDLEGATE JAPANESE GARDENS Japan on the Gulf of Mexico by Anne Legett
    MIDDLEGATE JAPANESE GARDENS Japan on the Gulf of Mexico by Anne Legett Fig. 1. Rudolf Hecht, Middlegate Japanese Garden (courtesy of Harry Stegenga, grandson of John Dambrink, Pass Christian, MS) REMEMBERING A GARDEN nce there were the most enchanting gardens in Pass Christian on the OMississippi Gulf Coast about 70-miles east of New Orleans, Louisiana. Middlegate Japanese Gardens were almost a secret, not visible to the street, and many residents were not even aware of the gardens’ existence. Rudolf Hecht, wealthy New Orleans entrepreneur, and his wife, Lynne Watkins Hecht, created the gardens at their beach “cottage” to preserve fond memories of their travels in Japan.1 My interest in the story of Middlegate Japanese Gardens has been life long. At the age of 12, I first passed through the bamboo gate at the St. Louis Street entrance and walked under the blue tile roof leading into the garden. Like Alice stepping through the looking glass, I passed from the small Gulf Coast town of Pass Christian in the 1950s into a Japanese dreamscape unlike anything I had ever imagined. With the property facing the beach road of Pass Christian (US Highway 90), I could still hear automobile traffic and smell the sea breeze. Though seagulls called above, all that was familiar in my world melted away. I had not traveled. The center of my universe was the Mississippi Gulf Coast and my journeys were limited to the Louisiana and Mississippi waters of the Gulf of Mexico. My tour of Middlegate, though but a few miles from my home, was my first visit to a foreign place.

  • Community Profile
    Hazard Mitigation Plan Community Profile Community Profile: Introduction Jurisdiction Community Profiles Each participating jurisdiction was asked to write or update a profile that includes information like the history of their jurisdiction, demographics, future development plans and significant historic disasters. Those profiles were integrated by the Office or Emergency Management and transferred into proper format. Because of the various types and sized of jurisdictions (school districts, fire districts, and municipalities), the profiles may not include the same information. For example, smaller fire districts that are ran by volunteers may not have expansion or development plans at this time compared to larger districts with paid fire-fighters. Nevertheless, the profiles provide a basic understanding from staffing figures to a brief history of each jurisdiction. Additionally, it should be noted that a great deal of historical and demographic data is derived from Census reports. Evangel and Drury University Evangel University and Drury University are private Universities and therefore do not qualify as participants of the 2015 Mitigation Plan. Capturing their demographics was included to more accurately represent the student populations present in Greene County.
