The Clearfield County Planning and Community Development Office will host a public kick-off meeting for a county-wide Greenways and Trails Plan on April, 29 at 6 p.m. in room 131 of the Multi-Service Center 650 Leonard St., Clearfield, PA 16830. This meeting will describe the purpose and benefits of greenways and trails to Clearfield County, and ask interested citizens and local officials for their ideas and opinions.
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources defines a greenway as “a corridor of open space.” Greenways can encompass areas of land or water. They can be transportation and recreation-based, like walking paths, bike lanes and rail-trails, or they can be natural resource-based, such as conserving areas that provide essential functions such as stormwater management or protection of water supply resources.
The goal of the plan is to develop a network of trails and natural area corridors linking Clearfield County’s municipalities, parks and important historic and cultural places. At the kick-off meeting, the public will be asked to help identify the places to connect, the types of corridors needed and the priorities.
Jodi Brennan, Director of the County Planning and Community Development Office noted, “The economic benefits of greenways and trails have been well established. They spin off new business opportunities such as bike and boat rentals, trailside restaurants and lodgings. They bring tourism dollars into the region. We have some of the most beautiful natural resources in the Commonwealth right here in northwest Pennsylvania. A network of greenways and trails will allow us to tap into their economic potential.”
The North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission has hired Pashek Associates of Pittsburgh to prepare the plan. The project is partially funded with a Community Conservation Partnership Program grant provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources with matching funds provided by participating counties.

FAQ Building limestone Retaining walls
Building a limestone wall requires careful planning, preparation, and execution to ensure a stable and long-lasting structure. Here are the general steps involved in building a limestone wall:
- Plan the design and layout of the wall: Determine the location, height, and shape of the wall, and mark out the area where the wall will be built. Determine the type and size of limestone blocks to be used.
- Excavate the area: Excavate the area to the depth and width required for the wall's foundation. Ensure that the foundation is level and compacted.
- Lay the first course of blocks: Lay the first course of blocks along the foundation, ensuring that they are level and straight. Use a spirit level to check the level of each block.
- Lay subsequent courses: Lay subsequent courses of blocks on top of the first course, ensuring that each block is level and straight. Use a rubber mallet to tap the blocks into place gently.
- Cut and shape the blocks: Cut and shape the blocks as needed to fit the design and layout of the wall. This may require the use of a diamond saw or chisel.
- Install drainage: Install drainage behind the wall to prevent water from accumulating and causing damage to the wall. This may involve the use of gravel or drainage pipes.
- Backfill and compact: Backfill the area behind the wall and compact the soil to provide stability and support for the wall.
- Finish the wall: Finish the wall by applying mortar or other sealants between the blocks to provide additional stability and strength.
It is important to note that building a limestone wall can be a complex and labour-intensive process. Hiring a professional contractor or designer with experience in building limestone walls is recommended to ensure that the wall is built to the highest safety and quality standards.


Bring the Arizona state tree to your yard
The Palo Verde is the most ideal tree for an Arizona yard simply because it is a native plant to this climate. It can survive on a very limited amount of water, but can also survive in areas that receive a lot of water, such as ponds and pools. As the state tree of Arizona, and a provider of shade at maturation, the Palo Verde should be a focal point in every Arizonan’s yard.
The first species of Palo Verde is the Blue Palo Verde. It grows to be about 30 feet tall and wide, making it a great tree for large areas of shade. Its popularity has grown in Phoenix and Tucson because of its incredible shade coverage.
The second species is the Foothills Palo Verde, or Little Leaf Palo Verde. This tree reaches about 20 feet tall and takes a more “shrubby” form. Though the tiny yellow blossoms are a pleasure to look at don’t get too close! You may get poked by the thorns on the branch ends.
The third of the Palo Verde family is the Mexican Palo Verde. It grows much faster than the other species and also sheds the most. The leaves are so tiny they are extremely difficult to pick up, and the Mexican Palo Verde starts shedding earlier than the others.
The newest Palo Verde species is called the Desert Museum Palo Verde, which is a three way hybrid of the Mexican, Foothills, and Blue Palo Verdes. The Desert Museum Palo Verde has all of the desirable traits of the previous three: fast growth, pretty yellow flowers that bloom over a long period of time and are more resilient against pests and strong branches that grow upright. This tree is also most desirable because it has the least amount of shedding because of the lack of tiny leaves and pods.

Azurri Blue Satin Rose of Sharon Care
Plant these rose of sharon shrubs in full sun for best results and to have the plant produce the most flowers possible. Well drained soil is also helpful.
Fertilize in early spring before the plant starts to bloom. Pruning Azurri Blue Satin Rose of Sharon is not necessary. However, you may trim to get the desired size of plant or shape in early spring before fertilizing.
Very little care is needed beyond that for this hardy plant.

Now, let’s go even beyond that and get into an area where you can get really creative and let your personality shine through…. garden art. There are no rules whatsoever here. Simple things like adding tiki torches along a path can make a real statement. Want to get more out there, create a faux Mayan ruin surrounded by tropical-looking foliage. If you don’t have a pool, build a small pond complete with cascading waterfall. Or, suspend a comfortable hammock between trees, complete with a fake (or real!) parrot watching over you while you relax. Remember, no rules here. This is all about you. Have fun.
If something has such a positive effect on your attitude and outlook, why should you settle for experiencing it only once a year during vacation? What if it were possible to create a little piece of that Island allure in your everyday life? While you may not have an ocean handy, you absolutely can create a beautiful, tropical resort style setting right in your own backyard. It’s not only possible, it’s a lot of fun. And, guess what? It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. With a little creativity, education and guidance, you can turn your boring backyard landscape into your own exotic, tropical Backyard Resort.
Get creative here and have fun. Try seemingly crazy things. As an example, I’ve grown Papayas, Angel Trumpets, candle trees, and Caster Bean plants for years, treating them as annuals. Talk about a tropical effect that will turn some heads! Add the Finishing Touches, The plants you use in the garden go a long way towards creating that tropical, resort-style setting we’re after, but there are other things as well. The tasteful use of containers can greatly enhance the overall effect of your backyard resort. Containers allow you to create lush garden settings in places where it might otherwise be impossible such as patios and decks. Tropical hibiscus, mandevilla, and bougainvilla all make a statement in containers.


This project included installation of sandstone steps with flagstone landings in Lancaster, PA. The project began with removal of the existing rotten timber steps and excavation of the area for sand stonesteps. We then installed the sandstone steps on a stone base and installed a tan flagstone bottom and top landing to match the steps. We connected the upper flagstone landing to meet existing flagstone patio and the lower landing meets the driveway edge.

Next time you’re in London visiting Trafalgar Square or any of the capital’s most iconic locations, look down and chances are that you’ll be standing on some pretty impressive natural paving. Scoutmoor Yorkstone is one of the strongest paving slabs available in the UK and can be found around many of our most popular visitor attractions.
Scoutmoor Yorkstone is a blue grey to brown stone, that fits perfectly with both the historical and modern built environment. Chosen not just for it’s looks, this Yorkstone is quarried a few miles north of Manchester and is tougher than most granites, making it a favourite choice for areas with high pedestrian traffic levels because of it’s high durability and excellent slip resistance.
The stone even retains its non-slip properties as it wears (very slowly) which automatically gives any project built with Scoutmoor Yorkstone a very long ‘shelf life’ indeed.
With sun, rain, sleet, snow or frost possible on any day of the British calendar, paving stones have to be rock solid and not prone to any noticeable weathering for many decades. Scoutmoor Yorkstone fits the bill perfectly and this is why you so often spot it in city locations with high footfall such as popular landmarks, high streets and busy buildings like colleges and universities.
As well as it’s excellent technical properties, Scoutmoor is a very versatile stone, allowing designers to add in creative features and details to enhance the landscape. In all forms of landscaping projects, Yorkstone can be used to provide a practical foundation with a beautiful finish for paving, steps, entrances, patios, paths and driveways. If you’d like to use this top quality Yorkstone in your project, you’ll find it available with the top surface finished as Diamond Sawn, Capital, Flamed or Crested.
When you choose Scoutmoor Yorkstone for your project, you can be assured of a product that meets high quality standards. Our Yorkstone slabs from Marshalls are fully tested to the appropriate standards and are CE marked in accordance with the latest legislation.
Both the Scoutmoor quarry and the manufacturing works are ISO9001 accredited as well as being ISO14001 Environmentally accredited and OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety accredited.
Sometimes it is hard to envisage just how a project might look once a paving has been installed. For anyone thinking of using Scoutmoor Yorkstone our advice is to head down to London for the day, make your way to Trafalgar Square and enjoy the sights.

I must stop using song names as the titles 😉 I did get the idea for the title, after reading an article about tree seeds, that were taken into orbit around the moon and back. These were known as the ‘Moon Trees‘, out of 500 seeds, between 420-450 of the seeds germinated, they included many trees varieties with interesting bark. The story is true … but it’s just an excuse to have a Ozzy song at the end.
What is the first thing that hits you when you walk into a garden? (with me it is usually a low branch or one of the other gardeners) Colour, sound, smells, movement? There is also a lot of beauty in a garden that is not always that obvious … not at first anyway.
Bark, this comes in all colours, patterns, textures and sometimes smell, along with the shape of the trunk/stem on trees and shrubs, it is also present all year round.
As a kid, I would have captured this by doing bark rubbings with some crayons and paper, but this time I used my camera phone instead.
The London Plane. It is a hybrid between Platanus Occidentalis and Platanus Orientalis. A large deciduous tree that can reach over 30m in height.
Tree of Heaven. Fast growing large deciduous tree, that has a terrible habit of suckering everywhere. It has wonderful markings on the bark.
Corsican Pine or European Black Pine. A large evergreen tree that can reach 40 metres in height. The bark is grey to yellow-brown and splits with age.
Manna Ash. Lovely smooth bark, this is a medium size deciduous tree that has creamy white scented flowers in May.
Giant Redwood, Wellingtonia or Big Tree. This has a beautiful red/brown soft feeling bark to it. It is the worlds largest tree by volume and the longest living thing on earth that can live for over 3,000 years.
Paperbark Maple. A small deciduous tree that has chestnut-brown papery bark, the leaves turn red and orange in the autumn.
The Black Mulberry Tree. Deciduous trees that have a beautiful gnarled framework to them, but most important of all is the fruit … and this cannot be eaten without leaving evidence.
West Himalayan Birch. Beautiful white/pink brown peeling bark, a large deciduous fast growing tree, with ovate leaves that turn yellow in the autumn.
Hybrid strawberry tree. A large evergreen shrub that is crossed with Arbutus andrachne and Arbutus unedo. It has beautiful red-brown peeling bark, this looks more impressive with age; white/pink flowers from autumn.
Bladdernut. A deciduous ornamental shrub or small tree, has beautiful white fragrant flowers in May/June.
Red Snakebark Maple. A small deciduous tree, leaves are green in spring and summer, turning red and yellow in the autumn.
Pere David’s Maple. Another snakebark maple, it is native to China and was discovered by Father Armand David in 1878.
Holm Oak, Evergreen Oak or Holly Oak. Quercus ilex is a large evergreen tree that has finely cracked bark.
Now I had to fit a couple of bamboos in somewhere, as they are often grown for their stems.
The Silver Birch. One of the most commonly known trees that is grown for its bark, a wonderful medium sized deciduous tree, with ovate leaves that turn yellow in the autumn.
Voss’s Laburnum. Small deciduous tree that has yellow flowers in the spring, wonderful patterns on the bark.
The Pride of India. A small deciduous tree with pinnate leaves, pink in the spring turning yellow in the autumn.
Rice Paper Plant. A wonderful hardy exotic plant, with an interesting stem and leaves that reach over a metre wide.

The tour begins on the hill top Ekeberg park, overlooking Bjørvika and the city center. From here there will be a cableway to the new district in the future.

Published at Friday, 20 September 2019. Backyard. By Namo Neufville.
When creating a backyard environment, you should take some time to think about what type of wildlife you would like in your backyard, up close and personal. Being petrified of snakes and then creating an environment that snakes find irresistible would be a torturous mistake. This example emphasizes the importance of considering what type of animals you want frequenting your backyard. Specific plant life and bodies of water attract certain kinds of animals, bugs, and insects. Hence, in your backyard environment, you can plant greenery and create man-made bodies of water to entertain the type of wildlife you are comfortable with.
Create the Tropical Landscape Effect, Now that you have a foundation, or backdrop, it is time to add the tropical effect plants to turn that normal backyard or swimming pool landscape into your own tropical paradise. Here, you’ll use true tropical plants that have to be treated as annuals in your area, unless you are willing to go to great lengths to protect them from winter chill. There are many plants that are tropical or sub-tropical that, with a little protection, will come back from roots each spring (i.e. bananas, elephant ears). Then, there are the interesting, tropical looking plants that may have no problems at all with winter weather.
A backyard can mean different things to different people. For the congenial host, a backyard means a great place to gather friends and family on warm summer nights. For the avid gardener, a backyard means a great place to grow prized zucchini and the biggest pumpkins in five city blocks. For the kids, a backyard means a great place to play games of soccer or catch miller moths. For the dog, a backyard means a great place to spend some time after a large meal. No matter what a backyard means to you, chances are you want it to mean something and, chances are, you want it to stand out. If you are nodding your head in agreement, and want your backyard to house a superior deck or a creative garden, then keep reading: this (rose) bud’s for you:

St. George Rainway Project Community Group
The St. George Rainway Project is a collaborative initiative begun in 2008 by a group of passionate volunteers including local residents, students, parents, storytellers, designers, educators, business people, artists and others.
This community driven initiative seeks to honour a historic waterway in Mount Pleasant. The goal is to use rainwater runoff from adjacent properties, the street, and connecting laneways to reimagine this lost stream as part of a “Rainway” along St. George street from Kingsway to the False Creek Flats.
Through a range of community events, they have worked with diverse stakeholder groups to envision what the Rainway could look like. This initiative is both an engineering and community-building project and the group has worked with in partnership with the City, as well as local schools and organizations. In addition to naturalizing the streetscape and drainage, the project is creating opportunities for artistic expression, educational activities, urban agriculture, and community gatherings.

A Quick Guide to Patio Materials
Omaha homeowners often come to Breaking Ground with a touch of paralysis by analysis. After all, there are seemingly so many choices for patio materials that making the right choice when you’re designing a new patio can seem nearly impossible. We’ve found that once homeowners better understand their material choices, it’s easier to make an informed decision and lay the foundation for a backyard landscape design they’ll enjoy for years to come.
Popular Patio Materials
There are a few different choices to build a patio, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
We’re all familiar with concrete patios. Odds are better than even that your home has one now. However, it comes with a number of drawbacks. It requires more specialized equipment for installation. It’s impermeable. It’s also inflexible, which can lead to severe damage due to root incursions or the repeated freeze and thaw cycles that come with living in Nebraska. And when repairs are needed, they can be terribly expensive.
Natural stone can make for a striking look, and under the right circumstances it can be a sustainable choice. However, sourcing enough of the right stone can be expensive, and it typically requires concrete or mortar to fill in the joints. Over time, those joints degrade with exposure to the elements, requiring expensive and labor-intensive repairs to avoid a “patched” look.
Flagstone is attractive and extremely durable; it can easily outlive your home. However, the stones tend to be large and very heavy, and their irregular sizes and thicknesses can pose challenges when it comes to grading and installation, as well as issues if the soil erodes or settles unevenly.
Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavers
Permeable interlocking concrete pavers are becoming increasingly popular. They combine many of the best features of the materials we’ve already discussed, with fewer downsides.
- The durability of concrete
- The ability to vary colors and textures
- Less reliance on specialized equipment
- Regular sizes and thicknesses that ensure better wear and ease of installation
- Low maintenance, with repairs taking less time and materials than other materials
Other Benefits of Concrete Pavers
There are other benefits to concrete pavers that aren’t as immediately apparent, but which are still extremely important. The fact that the surface is permeable prevents wastewater runoff, controls soil erosion, and helps to prevent groundwater pollution. What’s more, the joints ensure a degree of flexibility that means a much lower chance of cracking or damage than you’d find with other traditional methods and materials.
Permeable pavers also fit hand-in-glove with our sustainable design philosophy. After all, they ensure a patio that will be stylish, functional, and durable. If you’re installing other hardscaping features — like a fire pit, a water feature, or a retaining wall — you’ll have plenty of options for a design that works as a unified whole.
Benefits of the Breaking Ground Approach to Patios
The team at Breaking Ground exclusively uses Belgard interlocking concrete pavers sourced from Watkins Concrete Block. This brings our clients certain advantages to our clients.
- Belgard is the leading provider of hardscaping products in America, providing materials that are warranted for the life of your home in a variety of styles, textures, and colors that suit nearly any application and taste.
- Sourcing from Watkins Concrete Block supports a respected local company and ensures readiness for projects of all sizes.
- Our principles Mike and Cyndi Corrigan are certified paver installers through ICPI, the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute.
If your outdoor renovation leaves you with more questions than answers, it’s time to call Breaking Ground for a design consultation. We’ll help you unearth what’s possible, and co-create a design that you’ll enjoy for a long time to come!


There are many directions you can take with your landscape design. One of the biggest driving forces when designing a landscape is color selection. It is important to remember that color is important because it evokes emotional responses from humans, such as calmness and/or excitement. In order to create harmony and cohesion throughout your landscape, it is imperative that you know how to choose the right blend of colors. Consider the following when designing your landscape and take your curb appeal to the next level this spring season!
When it comes to landscape design, neutral colors are usually in reference to various shades of white, black and gray. Neutral colors are versatile, as they can be used as the backdrop to the other bright colors you have in your landscape.
Complimentary colors can be characterized as opposing colors that highlight one another when paired together. The main set of complementary colors includes blue/orange, green/red, and yellow/purple. Many experienced gardeners and landscaping often use complementary colors when planting flowers. For example, if you want to accentuate your red impatiens you have clustered together in your rock garden, consider planting something green next to them.
Types Of Color Scheme
Analogous Color Schemes
An analogous color scheme pairs similar colors together. For example, blue and violet would be considered analogous pairing. The same could be said about orange and yellow or green and blue. If you stand at a distance from an analogous color scheme, it appears as if there is just one color.
Monochromatic Color Schemes
If you want to achieve a harmonious effect with your landscape design, you should consider a monochromatic color scheme, which only utilizes one color, but with various shades and tints. For example, if you want to provide your property with an earthy feel, consider implementing a monochromatic color scheme that utilizes green as the base color.
Riotous Color Schemes
A riotous of color scheme uses multiple vibrant colors throughout a landscape. This type of color scheme is usually the most difficult to pull off because you still want to create cohesion and unity throughout your property. Since you are using bold colors, you want to use the same colors in multiple places so the human eye has somewhere to focus.

This month, SBSA submitted an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund worth just over £2.4million! A Stage 2 bid to HLF’s Landscape Partnership programme, the ‘Land of the Fanns’ sets out an ambitious 5 year plan to positively manage and understand one of the last remaining landscapes of London as it once was. With SBSA supporting a partnership comprising of four local authorities, the Thames Chase Trust, the Forestry Commission, Thames21 and the Thames Estuary Partnership, these efforts have the potential to transform almost 70 square miles of East London and South West Essex. The decision on this funding will be made in November 2016 so watch this space!
Representing perhaps the largest and most complex funding programme for landscape in the UK, successful Landscape Partnerships require the development of a clear vision for an area which is collectively owned by many partners and stakeholders. That vision then needs to be translated into a coherent and structured programme of work, manifested in a Landscape Conservation Action Plan that guides delivery whilst laying the foundations for a lasting legacy.
For ‘Land of the Fanns’, the title and vision drew inspiration from local 19th century parish records of a more unified historic landscape celebrated in Leslie Thompson’s book ‘The Land That Fanns’ (1957). Derived from the Saxon word for fen, the ‘Fanns’ evoked memories of a lost watery landscape alluded to through local place names such as Bulphan (or Bulfann), Fanns Farm and Dry Street. Whilst the vision took this phrase and used it to cover an area encompassing more than just historic fenland, the title still retained a ring of truth about it given how so much of the unique landscape character was owed to its marshy origins. From this foundation, the ‘Land of the Fanns’ was developed into a coherent programme comprising of 26 interconnected projects that will reunify the landscape and spark renewed attachment to it.
SBSA has supported the development of ‘Land of the Fanns’ since the very beginning, applying a broad range of expertise in fundraising, partnership development and stakeholder engagement to ensure a submission to HLF of the utmost quality. This has been delivered with clarity and a smile, something that partners find essential given the complexity of the task! If you are looking for support developing Landscape Partnership proposals and feel daunted by the process, do get in touch for a no obligation chat. With direct experience of the entire development process, we can help with your landscape too!


While we’re sure everyone would prefer the rain of spring to the snow of winter, all that water can pool and collect in places that you’d rather not have it. Perhaps where your eavestrough downspout was built, you’re left with a puddle for most of the Spring season. Perhaps you live at the base of a hill or around a slight slope that makes water runoff a serious problem for your lawn’s health. Whatever the case, water from the spring season can be difficult to curb if you don’t know how, which is why Beverley Hills’ team gives you 3 tips to help in your crusade against water runoff!
Tip 1: Build A Berm!
What is a berm you may ask? Essentially it’s a manmade small hill. A berm works in the same way that the slope in your lawn creates a little lake of water runoff – it directs water flow. Or - more accurately - a berm disperses the collection of water by directing it into two areas while also absorbing some of it, preventing pools of runoff from forming.
So now that we know what a berm is, how can you make one? Well the most important thing to consider is the direction of natural run off. Look for where your water is pooling, and take your best guess as to why. Build your berm here for best results.
Use soil to create a large enough, well packed mound in a long oval, so that the water will be directed into two opposite directions. On top of the berm, you can either plant grass for a more concealed look (although you’ll have to mow it), or plant a garden of plants with extensive roots – such as bushes or large ferns. These also have the added bonus of absorbing the water as well as redirecting it!
Tip 2: Dry Well Drainage
If your water is collecting due to the downspout, or near your home, a berm might not be the best option. Consider building a dry well instead – basically a hole in the ground that collects the water. Dig a small hole, a foot or so deep, and fill it with perforated piping, then line the piping in the hole with gravel. This will collect the water, and then allow it to slowly percolate around the surrounding ground. Without drainage capabilities, the dry well will just collect the water without dispersing it, meaning that water with eventually settle and become a breeding ground for insects. Always allow the water to pool momentarily before slowly drained into the surrounding area.
Tip 3: French Drain
A French drain is a slightly bigger project than a dry well, but may be your best bet if you have a large water runoff problem. If you are noticing water seeping through your foundation, or consistently pooling by your home, we recommend this option. It may be a larger project, but the results are well worth it. Now, many people get a professional to install a French drain - which is never a bad idea. But if you plan carefully, buy the right materials, know what you’re doing, installing a French drain can be done on the weekend yourself and curb your water woes.
A French drain is perforated drain pipe surrounded by gravel that slopes downward, effectively transporting the water away from your home.
- First, you need to dig a ditch from where the water pools, along a downward grade to where you want the water to be relocated. Simply dig the ditch atleast two feet deep – deeper if you feel ambitious
- Then pour some clean gravel along the bottom (not too much) and spread it along the bottom of the ditch
- Lay the drainage pipe, again – and this is important – you ensure that the pipe is on a downward slope away from the home.
- Cover the pipe with more gravel
- Cover the gravel with a plastic soil separator layer to prevent the soil from filling and clogging the drainage pipe
- Layer soil overtop and voila!
You can use this same method but attach it directly to your downspout if the downspout is the reason you have water runoff pooling in an area.
Water runoff can be not only a nuisance to your lawn’s health - and the look of your yard - but a serious threat to your foundation as well. We hope you found these tips useful in your own issues with water runoff! Stay tuned for more learning articles here!


First Master Plan Conserving Open Space Approved
City Council recently approved an ordinance adopting the Open Space Master Plan amending the City's Comprehensive Plan. This is the first time the City has committed to preserve natural open space by developing a long-term plan.
As part of the City Council Meeting of March 13, an ordinance incorporating the Open Space Master Plan into the City's Comprehensive Plan was approved. The direction marks the first time the City has committed to preserve natural open space by developing a long-term plan that seeks to acquire land. The master plan for open space, Towards a Bright Future: Mountains to River-A Green Infrastructure Plan for El Paso is a separate initiative that will compliment the Parks & Recreation Master Plan as an added measure to enhance community livability by preserving open space. The City contracted Halff Associates to develop the plan as they recently had delivered the master plan for the Parks & Recreation Department allowing for solidarity in the development of this critical planning process.
Planning efforts throughout the community commenced in the summer of 2006 to provide ample opportunity for the public to participate in the development stages of the plan. The initiative began with the first meeting of the Open Space Advisory Group (OSAG), a group comprised of 40+ El Pasoans from different sectors (residents, business, community) on June 28, 2006. The meeting launched a series of community meetings held in each planning area around the city.
After the public and OSAG meetings were completed, Halff Associates took the information gathered and consulted with the advisory group to generate a master plan that sought to identify an inventory of open space important for preservation and implementation strategies that included potential funding opportunities.
On December 21, 2006 the City Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve the draft that would subsequently have the final approval of the City Council to materialize. Preliminary steps for implementation are currently underway providing an ideal opportunity to make connections with initiatives such as the proposal to create a Stormwater Utility District and the proposed changes to the Subdivision Ordinance addressing the potential factors impacting the Plan's implementation.

Wilmington Waterfront Promenade
Los Angeles, CA
SAN PEDRO, Calif. – Aug. 20, 2020 – The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners has approved a $51.9 million construction contract for the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade Project on the LA Waterfront, with construction expected to start in fall.
“This $52 million investment means that we will finally break ground on the long-awaited Wilmington Waterfront this year!” said Los Angeles City Councilmember Joe Buscaino. “The Wilmington community has been patient and deserves more green space, buffer zones, and open space to alleviate industrial impacts.”
“Our vision for revitalizing Wilmington is becoming reality,” said Los Angeles Harbor Commissioner Lucia Moreno-Linares. “The fact that this project remains on schedule during this pandemic is inspiring for all of us who have highly anticipated this transformation.”
“We are committed to connectng Wilmington to its historic waterfront and creating more public access for both residents and visitors,” said Port of Los Angeles Director Gene Seroka. “Our Public Access Investment Plan, launched in 2015, has given us the ability to predictably invest and plan for public-serving projects like this one.”
Creating a “window on the waterfront” for the Wilmington community, the promenade project includes the realignment of Water Street parallel to the existing railroad tracks and construction of a community park adjacent to Banning’s Landing Community Center, along with a waterfront promenade, public pier, public dock, public restroom with green roof, playground and parking lots. Work along Water Street includes utilities, street work, grading, paving, striping, lighting and landscaping. Other project improvements to the nine-acre site include irrigation, signage and furnishings such as public seating, bike racks and drinking fountains.
The project was designed by engineering firm Sasaki Associates, Inc. The construction contract was awarded to Sully-Miller Contracting Co. of Brea, Calif. The project is expected to be completed in 2023.
Planning and investment in public space and urban revitalization on the Wilmington Waterfront has been underway since 2006. After significant community input and completion of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in 2008, the vision for the Wilmington Waterfront Development Program was set into motion. The Wilmington Waterfront Development Program includes two signature projects: The Wilmington Waterfront Promenade Project and Avalon Promenade and Gateway Project. These planned projects focus on connecting Wilmington’s historic waterfront to its commercial corridor on Avalon Boulevard.
The Port has invested more than $600 million on public access projects since 2005, with an additional $400 million committed through 2025, as outlined in the Board-approved Public Access Invest Plan. A planned Wilmington Youth Sailing Center will be a component of the Wilmington Waterfront Promenade Project.
The Port of Los Angeles remains open with all terminals operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. North America’s leading seaport by container volume and cargo value, the Port of Los Angeles facilitated $276 billion in trade during 2019. San Pedro Bay port complex operations and commerce facilitate one in nine jobs across the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura.

Mike Rosen, the former President of Tree Canada, joins Dorothy and Shauna to talk about these gentle giants who influence our gardens. Tree Canada is the only national non-profit organization dedicated to planting and nurturing trees in rural and urban environments.
Mike took time out of his busy retirement to share his knowledge on forests and trees. On the topic of native trees, he points out that the gingko, a wonderful tree that can thrive in any urban environment, has no animals or insects that are dependent on it for life here; the genus is imported from China. The Saskatoon berry, on the other hand, is beloved by several species of butterflies and birds. But still, the gingko is not harmful to native species in the way that the Norway maple is. The Norway maple has dense shade that nothing native can survive under and seeds that outcompete our native species. It also has a thick root mass that stays close to the surface of soil which makes it easy to blow down in a storm.
They talk about the myth that trees will destroy the foundation of your house. Tree roots will not crack your foundation and sewers; they will grow into cracks in your foundation and sewers looking for water.
They talk about the Manitoba maple and its value—or hindrance—to the areas these trees grow in. Its seeds can germinate just about anywhere and before you know it, you’ll have a tree. This is great in Manitoba but less great in warmer areas. Dorothy does her best to defend the Manitoba maple.
Mike gives them a few tips on pruning trees. Gardeners can take care of their very young trees to prevent low forking of trees. When the tree starts getting taller and with larger limbs, you need to call a professional.
The conversation rattles along with wit and wisdom, hitting various notes that gardeners and nongardeners alike are sure to find interesting.


Things You\’ll Need
Ficus pumila specific herbacide
8-inch plastic putty knife
Plastic bristle brush
Cleaning detergent for water stain removal
Climbing vines do not necessarily improve the aesthetic value of a property.
Creeping fig (ficus pumila) — also known as climbing fig and creeping ficus — is a decorative vine that grows in thick thatches on the sides of buildings, fences and homes. While the climbing fig has visually appealing aesthetics, it can also be a destructive nuisance. Typical of most climbing vines, removing the creeping ficus requires diligence. The key is to purge the plant from the bottom up.
Video of the Day
Cut the vines of the climbing fig at the base just above ground. Clear away enough foliage to easily access the base of the vines, but do not pull the vines from the side of the structure. Allow the vines to dry for one week.
Saturate the ground beneath the vines with herbicide per the manufacturer's instructions immediately after cutting the vines. Kill the vines at the root level or the climbing fig simply grows back. Do not use herbicide prior to cutting the base of the vines. Once dry and brittle, the vines are more difficult to cut.
Pull the vines off the structure by hand after they dry for a week. Dehydrated vines loose a relative amount of their tack and are less likely to snap than moist vines. Crape the suckers of the vines off the side of the structure with a plastic putty knife. Immediately rinse the side of the building to saturate the dark tack left from the suckers. Scrub the side of the structure with a plastic bristle brush once the tack is sufficiently moist.
Spray the side of the structure with a pressure washer. Use a cleaning detergent to completely remove the stains from the vine's tack.


Controlling Animal Activity
|Livestock can damage embankment dams by grazing, stomping out, or otherwise destroying vegetation, thus increasing the likelihood of accelerated soil erosion. (Image Source: DamFailures.org)
“Often constructed outside of developed areas, the earthen dam environment is usually near a water source and can contain a variety of vegetation; given these characteristics, earthen dam environments can be naturally conducive to use by wildlife. Wildlife inhabiting the dam can alter the dam environment through habitat establishment and use – beaver build dams, muskrat excavate dens, livestock feed on stabilizing vegetation. The natural instincts of wildlife to adapt and use their environment toward their survival can compromise the balance of engineered functions that maintain the viability of an earthen dam”.

It will keep weeds away; protect the plants by keeping the soil cool; decrease evaporation and reduce soil compaction. Be creative and use materials like: pebbles, bark chippings, gravel, cocoa shells, decorative pine cones, marbles, broken crockery, grass clippings or leaf mould. But avoid mulching too close to the stems to avoid the plant rotting in winter.

Decide on the budget : Installing a patio is expensive but it is worth spending as much as you can afford as the patio is such an important part of the garden. The garden should be viewed as an outdoor room and if you are prepared to spend a little extra on getting it right it will be useable for most of the year. Allow around £120 per square metre as an all-in cost to get a contractor to lay your patio.
Creating privacy : If the patio is overlooked the patio design will need to include screening. Walls, hedges, pergolas, and fences can be included in the patio design to provide a sense of enclosure and privacy. When building a wall around a patio it is a great idea to include a window through to other garden areas so that the patio doesn't end up feeling to claustrophobic. Windows in dividing walls create an interesting glimpse of the rest of the garden without compromising privacy.
Capacity of the patio : The patio needs to be large enough to accommodate the correct size of table with room for chairs to be pulled out and for people to move around easily when others are seated. A guide is to allow 1m width for the table, 500mm width on either side of the table for each chair when not pushed under the table, 300mm between chairs down the side of the table, and 700mm width to pull each chair out and sit down comfortably.
Patio Dining Furniture Designs: Aside from traditional wooden patio tables and chairs, there are also other designs that are out in the market. If you want a casual feel at your dinner, then you can get casual dining furniture that are made from aluminum, plastic, wood, and other materials. For those who want to have a different but chic design, modern patio dining tables and chairs would be the best choice.


Dababneh’s installation, YayaLand, is presented by DELECTRICITY in partnership with the Detroit Month of Design, a citywide celebration of creativity, sponsored by Design Core that, 'gathers designers and the greater community to celebrate Detroit’s role as a national and global design capital.'
Assisting Dababneh was Illuminart principal Robert White, IALD, IES, LC, a graduate of CCS and a CCS adjunct professor of lighting design, since 1997. After having previously participated in DELECTRICITY, White was excited to work with Dababneh and be a part of the YayaLand Takeover project.
While meeting with CCS President Donald Tuski and Director of Campus Safety & Security Mike Bruggeman, Dababneh unveiled her vision for the campus installation. Dababneh described her intention to, ‘readdress the existing lighting by creating a colorful and euphoric atmosphere.' She provided mock-ups of a few examples showing design intent and engaged the team in a discussion on logistics and the impact it would have on campus safety.
White, familiar with the campus from both a user as well as a lighting design standpoint, offered some suggestions on balancing the needs of visual impact with the functional and safety needs of the campus. White had also previously designed the campus lighting for a landscape renovation led by Grissim Metz Andriese Associates.
The group agreed on the design solution and implementation approach and Dababneh proceeded with her work. The end result is a lush application of lighting in a unique art college environment surrounded by iconic architecture.
The installation offers an intervention of color and texture that is engaging, delightful and thought-provoking. Illuminart principal, Robert White was pleased to have provided modest support to Dababneh’s bold vision and to help celebrate her success with a completed installation.
