INTERPRETING NATURE—Baldwin Hills Greenhouse Program Research Projects, 2021-2022 school year

On May 29th, 2022 the Baldwin Hills Greenhouse Program wrapped up its 14th school year. The program was a balancing act of online and in-person activities at Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook. Despite the pandemic, Greenhouse students proved themselves to be both committed and adaptable. We fortunate to be able to collaborate with Cal Poly Pomona’s Questad Lab and Jen Toy of the USC Landscape Architecture program this year. The annual Cactus Commencement Ceremony - the culminating event where students present their work to an audience – was reinstated as an in-person event this year. Students led friends, family, alumni, and program collaborators through a series of environmental education stations that showcased the knowledge and skills that students had gained over the year.

Summer Fellows: Moving Forward, Working with Nature

Los Angeles Audubon's Summer Fellows Program has been a strong learning resource for many alumni from the Greenhouse Program, Kenneth Hahn Environmental Internship, and the West Los Angeles College Conservation Studies Certificate Program. This program provides hands-on experience along with further environmental education learning. Summer Fellows work on habitat restoration at the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook and Kenneth Hahn Recreation Area.

TWO BOOK REVIEWS: A History of the World in 12 Maps & Underland: A Deep Time Journey

, , ,

Google Earth is the last of the 12 maps that Jerry Brotton covers in his monumental A History of the World in 12 Maps, and his initial description is reverential: “This is the geographer’s ultimate object of study, an image of the whole earth.”

Macfarlane’s conception of the underland is complex - un-bound by the typical images of caves and tunnels. The underland is a place of “deep time”, a place of “epochs and aeons.” It is a place where humanity represents just a blip in the grand history of the earth, and where its memories are kept hidden. It is a place where strange, old things are buried - and from which these things are emerging, with the advent of the Anthropocene. It is precisely because we are being confronted with the underland that Macfarlane has chosen to write about it.
