    Jun 25 | Parks, Plants and People The Impact of Jens Jensen on Evanston’s Natural Landscape

    Be part of The Evanston Public Library, Jens Jensen Gardens, and the Evanston Backyard Club on Saturday, 6/25 for Jens Jensen Day ’22, a celebration of the loaded native plant and gardening record of Evanston.

    The software will aim on 3 influential Evanstonians: Anna Rew Gross, Donn Werling, and Margery Taylor Carlson, and will consist of shows at the library adopted by a tour of the Lighthouse Beach front gardens.

    Gross, Werling and Carlson have been all influenced by the do the job of famed Danish-American landscape architect, Jens Jensen, whose design and style operate can be found in both of those the metropolis of Chicago (Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, and Douglass Park amid many others) and in Evanston. Jensen’s most noteworthy design and style in Evanston was the Shakespeare Back garden (the initially of its form in the United States) on the grounds of Northwestern College and the Wildflower Trail on the grounds of the Grosse Position Lighthouse. The two had been commissioned by the Backyard garden Club of Evanston. His largest and most bold landscape in Evanston was the 4.7 acre landscape made in 1927 for the Harley Clarke mansion, positioned at 2603 Sheridan Road.

    The keynote speaker, Dr. Donn Werling, was the 1st and only human being with the official title of City of Evanston Naturalist. He also served as Director of the Ladd Arboretum, Evanston Ecology Heart, and the Lighthouse Character Center from 1973 – 1982. He is now retired from the University of Michigan where by for 19 a long time he served as Director of the Henry Ford Estate, a single of Jensen’s major and most regarded performs.  Donn is also advisor to Jens Jensen Gardens in Evanston.

    In 1915 a friendship in between Anne Rew Gross (1864 – 1946) and Jens Jensen (1860-1951) grew into a skilled connection that improved the aim of household plantings from nonnative vegetation species to patterns centered all-around the use of indigenous crops. In May well 1916 the to start with plant sale was held in Raymond Park and has ongoing to be an once-a-year event to this day. 

    Margery Carlson (1892 – 1985), an early member of the Garden Club of Evanston and the initial complete time lady faculty member of Northwestern College, was another influential Evanstonian who will be celebrated.  She traveled throughout the entire world collecting botanical samples (some of which are still archived at the Subject Museum), arranged Victory Gardens, and was 1 of the founders of the Ladd Arboretum. Her legacy carries on to enrich our life today. 

    The Program will start out at 10:00 AM in the community area of the key department of the Evanston Community library. There will be a lunch break from 12:00-1:00 and at 1:15 on web site contributors will travel by bus to Lighthouse Park the place the method will continue on with extra discussion and Q&A with Donn Werling. Excursions of the landscape rehabilitation work underway, native plant demonstration backyard garden, Alfred Caldwell Stonework, and waterfall will be provided. Users of the Garden Club of Evanston will be on website to conduct guided excursions of the historic Lighthouse wildflower stroll (built by Jensen in 1937). Light-weight refreshments will be supplied.

    Even further data can be received by emailing info@jjge.org or on the website   www.JenjensengardensinEvanston.org.

    Impact 50: Roberts vs. Colorado State Altered Multiple Landscapes

    Christine Susemihl, who worked with CSU athletics for 45 decades and rose to the place of Senior Women’s Administrator, remembers the conclusions to fall sporting activities – other individuals experienced been removed right before — were being anything at all but everyday.

    “The significant thing there was we dropped baseball. The administration felt, very well, we can fall softball, due to the fact that’s fairness,” Susemihl explained. “That’s not how the courts viewed it, mainly mainly because a lot of it was ruled by the ratio among male and female pupils in the scholar overall body.”

    Susemihl stated the university understood it was likely to be at danger for doing so, but Colorado Condition wasn’t the only campus dropping sporting activities and hoping to stability out the scales and ledgers at the similar time. 

    From 1992, when the university tried to fall softball, as a result of 1994, when the go well with at last came to an conclusion and the softball software was reinstated, there have been 20 other scenarios getting heard in the courts.

    Not all of them attained the Supreme Courtroom.

    “There were being issues and surprises, like acquiring sued all the way to the Supreme Courtroom,” Susemihl explained. “I always felt like the college was trying to do the most effective, and they acknowledged the selections, lived with it, and continued to develop the system and invest in it. Last but not least, it kind of all settled down.”

    When the to start with product in a Google lookup of your name is a Supreme Courtroom case, you wander the line diligently. Roberts wrestles with the simple fact, recognizing most men and women have a detrimental connotation with lawsuits. For her, the matter is not a discussion starter. It will not finish one, either. Most of the people today she’s recognized for many years never know about it, and the number of who request do not make a major deal of it, but she will fill in the blanks of their curiosities.

    How her identify became mentioned 1st among the the 13 listed, Roberts is not exactly sure. Bielak joked Roberts deserved major billing since her father Norman did all the leg do the job for the staff.

    Time and position has a whole lot to do with those people discussions, and the 25th anniversary of the plan getting reinstated was an best location. So as well ended up all those keen to hear, gamers with “Rams” emblazoned on the front of their jerseys due to the persistence of some others. That’s the way it definitely is for all of the players who dared to stand.

    “They arrived to our alumni recreation, and a couple of the persons who had been on the group at the time and went through the complete process of having the scenario to the Supreme Courtroom had been there,” latest senior Kaitlyn Cook dinner stated. “They arrived and talked to us, and I had heard from them my freshman year, and it was pleasant to re-listen to the tale from their stage of check out this past yr.

    “What they did, I’m grateful, for absolutely sure. The potential to participate in, I hadn’t identified about the tale coming in. The braveness and the strength to not only fight for the system and struggle for us and potential generations of softball, but also go to school … Some of them did it realizing they weren’t coming back again to engage in. They did it figuring out girls like me have been going to be able to remain in a system that has truthfully formed who I am.”

    That was the matter. Originally, all of the customers of the 1992 squad were mad. How could their university do this to them? It was pretty personal to them, even if the college considered it as a financial transaction.

    It was all about them, way too, especially in the beginning. Their college professions have been on keep, but so was their training. Roberts favored the softball program, but she loved the engineering faculty. It was all tied jointly.

    Even now, it did not consider extensive for them to see the even larger picture.

    “Those factors start out out a small bit selfishly,” Roberts said. “You’re like, no, I want to play. The far more you start out to master about the circumstance at hand and you take into account this is the only Division I application in the condition at this minute, this would take absent possibilities in a sport that is rising all the time. Considering the fact that the 1980s, softball has taken off like a rocket at so numerous ranges. Chances for young gals to go to faculty at what ever stage and have the prospect to play a sport – sport teaches you so a lot of items.

    “Opportunities, to me, are way even bigger than me finding to engage in. I loved likely to Colorado State. It was unfortunate for me to consider a little something would be unavailable when all we needed to do was characterize the college and this is a little something to be recognized in this point out.”

    The 1st detail the team did was file an injunction on Nov. 19, 1992 to end the move, but the court docket dominated it necessary additional points and getting of legislation. What did happen was CSU honored the scholarships of those people included in the go well with and agreed not to provide off the program’s equipment.

    The 7 days in advance of Thanksgiving, the scenario went to District Courtroom, exactly where both sides presented their arguments, and with the members of the workforce in courtroom, some of whom had been referred to as to testify, their planet see was opened.

    “It was really scary, mainly because it was in US District Courtroom, a federal courtroom, and it was scary. None of us experienced any encounter with this and what it entailed,” Bielak claimed. “I’m not certain some of us realized what a large point it was even though we were undertaking it. It grew to become a landmark situation and it’s been cited how several quantity of situations? It was frightening, the choose was terrifying and CSU marched in with all these attorneys and there ended up people today from the athletic office. It was like we were being shell-shocked. Here’s a bunch of adolescents and younger gals walking in … Very significantly a David vs. Goliath variety of thing.”

    Colorado Point out argued the feminine participation rate at the time was substantially proportional to the latest female enrollment charge. It was not. At the time, there were 17 varsity programs, and girls produced up 35.2 p.c of the total. The undergraduate enrollment at the college was 47.9 {6d6906d986cb38e604952ede6d65f3d49470e23f1a526661621333fa74363c48} woman, building the disparity 12.7 per cent.

    In the decade prior, that experienced constantly been the situation, with an common of 14.1 beginning from a 1980-81 setting up place.

    The college argued the framework of Title IX furnished no advice in what identified “substantial proportionality, and they pointed to an Investigators Guide, noting language which said “there is no established ratio that constitutes substantially proportionate.

    The court docket ruling was that the paragraph previous did, in actuality, make it apparent, and dominated in favor of the softball team. 

    “We had that weeklong courtroom scenario, then we never ever read everything back again from the decide right up until February of 1993. It was sort of, Okay, that part is carried out, now we wait,” Roberts explained. “When her ruling came back again, Judge Zita Weinshienk – I’ve by no means forgot her name – it was like 18 webpages. When her judgement came out, I assume we were being just validated. Like, thank you, you noticed what we observed. Even extra, in some cases.”

    Tribe’s water quality efforts having positive impact on lakes and streams

    CONTRIBUTED BY Lone Beasley, Media Relations.




    SULPHUR, Okla. – Lake of the Arbuckles in southeastern Oklahoma is well known as a great local fishing spot and for its ability to provide ample supplies of life-sustaining water to cities of Ardmore, Davis and Wynnewood.

    In recent years, however, several groups have grown concerned about the lake’s water quality. They have started work to ensure the lake remains ecologically sound for this and future generations.

    “Arbuckle Lake is a fantastic trophy, largemouth bass lake, but during the summer we see areas now within the lake that have impaired levels of dissolved oxygen in them, Chickasaw Nation Natural Resources director Kris Patton said.

    “If water quality parameters within Arbuckle Lake continue to decline, we are going to see more algal blooms (rapid growth of microscopic, unicellular algae) which will certainly impact water quality.”

    Research has demonstrated the culprit to be excess nitrogen and phosphorous from fertilizers and possible runoff from septic tanks. Mr. Patton said if algal blooms were allowed to grow unfettered, more than just fish will be in jeopardy. So, too, may be the sustainability of the water supply for more 60,000 residents in the region.

    Working with local landowners, the Chickasaw Nation is taking action to protect the resource. Using a grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Chickasaw Nation’s Natural Resource Office brought together an independent board – the Lake of the Arbuckles Watershed Association (LAWA). The board is made up of local landowners with a direct stake in lake.

    “The Natural Resource Office was developed to assist the Chickasaw Nation with implementation of its historic water settlement with the state of Oklahoma,” Mr. Patton said. “The Chickasaw Nation formed that settlement with the Choctaw Nation, the State of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma City in 2016, and work continues to finalize the settlement so that it may be fully enforced. The settlement and the planning processes our office manage allows us to take a seat at the table and impact how our region’s water resources are managed.”

    A Chickasaw-Choctaw water planning team operates jointly to evaluate area water resources throughout both tribal territories, which encompasses 22 counties within the State of Oklahoma. The team identifies strategies for the best protection and sustainable use.

    The Lake of the Arbuckles is not the only area of concern and the Natural Resource Office’s work. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality compiles water samples data, which are then evaluated to determine which lakes or streams should be considered “impaired waters.” Impaired waters are color-coded red on a composite map, with red markings indicating areas of heightened concern.

    “As you look at the streams and surface water bodies across the state, you see a brightly colored red map,” Mr. Patton said. “When you narrow that down, the Chickasaw Nation and the Choctaw Nation have a lot of red streams, which includes Arbuckle Lake within the color-coded red impacts.”

    Previous water quality sampling efforts are evaluated. The team has deduced that water bodies and streams within the Chickasaw Nation are becoming more and more impaired.

    “We wondered what we could do to assist with turning the situation around,” Mr. Patton said. “So, we hit on the idea of the watershed organization process. The first step was the Lake of the Arbuckles Watershed Association, which is based out of Sulphur and is a landowner driven organization. Members must own land within the watershed to serve on that board. They are directing what best management practices should occur within the Arbuckle Lake watershed.”

    Another emphasis in the LAWA effort is using prescribed fire to reduce wildfire potential. If a wildfire does break out, areas managed with recurring prescribed fires ensure it doesn’t have as much highly volatile fuel to keep it going.

    From a landowner’s perspective, prescribed fires help promote a healthier ecosystem and better grazing for cattle and horses. Prescribed fire also allows better forage for deer, turkey and other game.

    Promoting stands of native grass and vegetation, especially along riparian waterways, reduces the potential for erosion resulting in significant loss of top soil within creeks, lakes and streams.

    Wes Harden is a Chickasaw citizen who owns 1,000 acres five miles west of Mill Creek, Okla. The property has been in his family the better part of a century. The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), in conjunction with the Chickasaw Nation, helped burn 300 of his acres.

    Mr. Harden said it was much easier than doing it himself and reduced his stress level over concern a fire he set might get out of hand.

    “It’s a lot more than just lighting a match,” he said. “As a landowner, you are responsible when you light that match. You’re responsible for if it gets out of hand. The BIA and the Chickasaws made it tremendously easier because they have the equipment that we don’t have.

    “This was the first time we’ve had the BIA and Chickasaws come in and it sure took a lot of stress off knowing it was under control. They’re pros. Plus, they came in with their crew of about 15 whereas in the past we’ve tried to do it with three or four. What usually takes us two or three days, they had done in about six hours.”

    Mr. Harden said the reason for wanting to burn the land was to reduce the number of red cedar trees from ruining the property’s land use.

    “If you don’t control the red cedar, before long they just take over a place,” he said. “We run 180 to 200 head of cattle on our land. We also use it for recreation, hunting deer and turkeys on it. The little sprouts that come back after the burn benefit the deer and the turkeys.”

    He said a controlled burn also reduced the amount of chemicals he used.

    “It cuts down on using chemicals,” he said. “You have to use some chemicals, but it helps not having to use spray that ends up washing into the lake.”

    LAWA president Larry Kennan owns acreage through which Sandy Creek flows one-and-a-half miles north of where it pours into Lake of the Arbuckles. He says removing eastern red cedar trees is critical to maintaining the ecological integrity of the lake.

    “If you look underneath an eastern red cedar tree, there is no vegetation. It’s bare ground,” Mr. Keenan said. “And if you see one, you see a hundred. It’s a very invasive species. Not only do they consume huge amounts of water, they eliminate that natural filtration system of native prairie grass that acts to filter impurities before they get to the creek and it flows into the lake.”

    He said prescribed fires hearkened back to the original inhabitants of the land and by nature itself.

    “Back before statehood, prescribed fires were common, conducted by Native Americans as well as lightning that would run across the rangeland and take out a lot of trees, in particular, eastern red cedar,” he said.

    The result was excellent forage for cattle, buffalo and other native wildlife. Mr. Keenan said as the state grew in population, fire had been largely removed from the landscape due to urbanization and residents not understanding and appreciating its value.

    “There are some challenges out there,” Mr. Keenan says, referring to opposition LAWA members have run into as fires start burning.

    “Prescribed fires are absolutely natural,” he said. “It’s been going on for years and we’re just trying to reincorporate them back into management and back into the environment. Our strategy is to use prescribed fire and some mechanical removal to control, remove, reduce the presence of eastern red cedar in the watershed and that will eventually have a positive impact on the water quality in the watershed.”

    Pennsylvania bans sales of popular landscaping plant Japanese Barberry due to adverse environmental impact

    Japanese Barberry, an invasive shrub that has become widely-used in landscaping due to its color and ability to keep deer away, will soon be prohibited in Pennsylvania.

    The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has implemented a multi-phase statewide ban on growing and selling the plant due to the negative effect it has on the environment. 

    Known as Berberis thunbergii, the plant originated in Japan and Eastern Asia and was brought to the United States in the 19th century as a decorative shrub.

    Japanese Barberry quickly overgrows and forms dense, prickly thickets that can crowd out other plants and be disruptive to various ecosystems. The plant can spread easily across wooded areas, fields and other green spaces. It is also a popular spot for black-legged ticks to spread lyme disease.

    Pennsylvania added Japanese Barberry to its list of noxious weeds, which are plants that have an adverse impact on public health, crops, livestock and land. Plants that are identified as noxious weeds cannot be sold or grown across the state.

    “Many seemingly attractive plants can actually harm our environment, our food supply and our health,” Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “Pennsylvania does not take banning the sale of a plant lightly. Prevention is the best alternative — choosing native plants that harbor pollinators and allow a healthy, natural ecosystem. Carefully considering the potential impact of what we plant can prevent lasting damage that is difficult, expensive or impossible to reverse.”

    Enforcement of the statewide ban will take place over the next two years to provide landscaping companies, garden centers and nurseries with time to dispose of Japanese Barberry and seek out alternative plants that are not as harmful to agriculture.

    Businesses received notices of the prohibition this month and were told to decrease inventory of the plant. Companies that are still selling and producing Japanese Barberry by next fall will receive a warning from state officials. All remaining Japanese Barberry in Pennsylvania will be destroyed by Fall 2023.

    Sterile, seedless versions of the plant that are less threatening to the environment are eligible for an exemption through an application process.

    Property owners are also encouraged to get rid of any Japanese Barberry they may have. Experts at Penn State Extension recommend pulling the entire plant out of the ground either by hand or by using a machine, depending upon the shrub’s size. Removing the entire root system is paramount to prevent re-sprouting to occur among leftover seeds and branches.

    Pennsylvania had previously considered banning Japanese Barberry in 2018, according to TribLive.com. Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin and West Virginia have also banned the sale and cultivation of the plant, according to NorthCentralPA.com.

    The plant can mostly be found in the Midwest and East Coast of the United States, as well as in parts of Canada, according to the University of Georgia’s Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health.
