🌿 Diversity in Action: Earth Day Reflections 🌿 Last Friday, Justine Johnson, our Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Rachel Hansen from MoonTree Studios, enlightened us on the interconnectivity of nature and society. We dove deep into Intersectional Environmentalism and discovered the charming world of Bug Hotels. Here are four key takeaways: 1. Intersectionality Matters: Justine Johnson unveiled how environmental issues are inextricably linked with social justice, advocating for a world where nature's care is everyone's affair. 2. Habitat Hospitality: Rachel Hansen introduced us to the eco-friendly world of Bug Hotels, vital for supporting our local ecosystem's littlest inhabitants. 3. Environmental Equity: Emphasizing the need for inclusive environmental policies that acknowledge and address all community members' diverse impacts and contributions. 4. DIY Conservation: Encouraging everyone to become a backyard conservationist by creating Bug Hotels, fostering a hospitable environment for beneficial insects. #IntersectionalEnvironmentalism #BugHotels #EarthWeek #PHJCCommunity #PHJC #PoorHandmaidsofJesusChrist

Jimmy Carter’s passing marks the end of an extraordinary life dedicated to service. His work with Habitat for Humanity was transformative, reminding us that real progress starts in the heart of our communities. At City Detect, our mission is rooted in that same principle—using advanced technology to help cities address urban challenges. But no tool can replace the value of rolling up our sleeves and getting involved. That’s why partnering with Habitat for Humanity Tuscaloosa was so meaningful. Brandon Kasteler’s insight resonates deeply: "With this technology, we can go work on problems instead of spending so much time finding and identifying the problems." As we reflect on President Carter’s legacy, we are reminded of the profound impact of combining innovative tools with a commitment to community-driven solutions. Let’s keep building a better tomorrow, together. #AIforGood #UrbanInnovation #JimmyCarter #HabitatForHumanity #CommunityDevelopment

What you leave as a legacy is not what is etched in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. As we enter our 80th year, we reflect not only on our business achievements but also on their profound impact on countless lives across our nation. Our legacy extends beyond constructing buildings to touching hearts. Here’s to instilling our legacy in people’s hearts, and leaving our mark behind. #LegacyOfImpact #WovenIntoLives #BuildingMoreThanStructures #HeartfeltConnections #80YearsOfMakingADifference #CreatingABetterFuture #LegacyOfLove #ImpactThroughConstruction #TouchingLives #BuildingCommunities #InspiringChange #Celebrating80Years #EmbracingTheFuture #OurStoryContinues #Gainwell #GainwellCAT #SolutionsForGrowth

What will society look like in 2044? Jane Findlay FLI PPLI (former President of the Landscape Institute), spoke at the Land Trust’s celebration event on 7th November about how green spaces will need to adapt to society’s changing needs: “Green spaces are more than just parks. They are lifelines. They support community cohesion, enhance mental and physical health, and serve as vital urban infrastructure for biodiversity and climate change adaptation. “Access to quality green space is fundamental and cannot be understated: it is the golden thread that runs through everything the Land Trust does, not only in physical proximity, but in creating a welcoming sense that these spaces are truly for everyone. “We need to reimagine green spaces to meet modern demands: they must be adaptable, interactive and inclusive. Simply building them and hoping people will come is no longer enough.” The Land Trust has begun working now to bring communities together, foster belonging, and improve access to our green spaces.

🌍✨ "If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, let us allow them to love the Earth before we ask them to save it." – David Sobel 🌱 This quote is a beautiful reminder that fostering a connection with nature is the first step toward creating future environmental stewards. When children fall in love with the Earth—its beauty, its rhythms, its wonders—they naturally want to protect it. Let’s focus on nurturing this love through outdoor play, exploration, and meaningful experiences. 💚 How do you help children connect with nature?

Please join MAS on Tuesday, May 21 for a lunchtime virtual talk as part of our Enduring Culture Initiative, with Kamau Ware, Shelley Worrell, Jiefei Yuan, Delma Palma, Pete Nice, and Amanda Boston, Ph.D. With New York City in a constant state of change, how can the field of preservation be expanded to be a more multivocal, equitable, accessible, and inclusive framework for supporting diverse layers of history and culture in our city? What implications could such a shift have on our urban policy?  Historic preservation has traditionally been practiced with strict rules for maintaining material integrity tied to a specific place and time, most often through a singular perspective. However, a sense of place involves a larger set of narratives and layered histories. As our built environment shifts to adapt to our climate crisis, address our housing crisis, and deconstruct the legacy of racist planning and marginalizing policy, how can the field of preservation evolve to do more than one thing for more than one purpose? How can preservation practiced in non-traditional forms provide the opportunity for our urban fabric to be flexible, adaptable, and reflect layers of history to support multiple communities over time?
