I have always been fascinated by emerging concepts and how they become established and shape the world and the future. It is also the adoption of a concept especially where it maybe counter-intuitive or not within the confines of that sector that I have found intriguing.  The original idea of protecting a tract of land far away from the major cities by John Muir well over 150 years ago, was probably initially a strange idea, that is now very well entrenched globally. Why? and why did it become a centre piece of our global thinking - given it was a simple idea. The recent, simple observation and question of why the IUCN’s Protected Areas Categories never included the city landscape, is a case in point. Until recently, in modern western paradigms, we have generally seen people as separate from nature or environment. This has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, as societies recognise the rights of Traditional Owners and First Nations. Even countries such as England has had National Parks that include private and public land. However, it was this simple observation over a decade ago by Daniel Raven-Ellison that has changed the world’s perspective on this. The following Essays, are a reflective look at the concepts that have emerged and changed the way we manage Cities, Parks and Nature and also the challenges that are still being viewed the same way.  The Journey retraces the original National Park concept and emergence of national parks in cities. It is a brief journey and borrows much from the great inspirational work of Daniel Raven-Ellison.

Watching the press and public respond to the opening of PDX's new terminal has been so rewarding. In 2021, when I began helping Port of Portland with storytelling around PDX Next, I thought, cool client! But what do I know about airports? So far, I've learned about: • The innovative possibilities of mass timber • The promises and challenges of sustainable forestry in the Northwest • The groundbreaking work Northwest tribes are doing to restore their sovereign lands • Local businesses finding gorgeous new uses for lumber waste and small hardwood trees • What the heck a ground-source heat pump is (this took several interviews) • How massive projects like PDX Next can help small businesses scale up and ensure local BIPOC- and women-owned businesses share in the prosperity There's still 18 months of construction left, but I hope you enjoy the very cool architecture, art, and food on your next visit to PDX, knowing that the behind-the-scenes story may be even more impressive. www.pdxnext.com

Tim Culvahouse on landscape architect Jane Wolff: "Her method is to develop a common vocabulary for discussing the shoreline where San Francisco meets its bay. 'Language,' she writes, 'is the first tool for perception: we cannot recognize what we cannot name.' This approach makes Bay Lexicon more than a merely local resource; it offers a model of how any urban waterfront might be opened up to thoughtful and purposeful debate." https://lnkd.in/e2ejmeCX
