Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Golden Gate Park: And Particularly the Management and Thinning of Its Forest Tree Plantations In view of the importance of the subject, and the interest which has of late been taken in it, the Board of Park Commissioners consider it proper to make this statement, and give publicity to the accompanying reports. On entering upon their duty in May of the present year, after examination and upon taking advice which they considered perfectly competent, they became well satisfied that the trees composing the older groups, belts, and masses on Golden Gate Park were suffering from overcrowding - were, in fact, going backward in the scale of usefulness, and that many were destined to die, and the groups to lose character, if not relieved by thinning. Examining the early reports, on which the improvement and plantation of this place were based, it was seen that the intention of the designer was that trees should be cut away as soon as they began to interfere with each other, and that very, very many more trees had been planted than it was intended or thought possible to permanently occupy the spaces covered by the plantations. Inquiring as to the past of later dates, the Commission found that their predecessors had been deterred from carrying on this work of attention to the forest growth, because of lack of funds for the purpose, and the continual demand that money be expended for show and present enjoyment.

Download or read book True Gardens of the Gods written by Ian Tyrrell and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most critical environmental challenges facing both Californians and Australians in the 1860s involved the aftermath of the gold rushes. Settlers on both continents faced the disruptive impacts of mining, grazing, and agriculture; in response to these challenges, environmental reformers attempted to remake the natural environment into an idealized garden landscape. As this cutting-edge history shows, an important result of this nineteenth-century effort to "renovate" nature was a far-reaching exchange of ideas between the United States—especially in California—and Australia. Ian Tyrrell demonstrates how Californians and Australians shared plants, insects, personnel, technology, and dreams, creating a system of environmental exchange that transcended national and natural boundaries. True Gardens of the Gods traces a new nineteenth-century environmental sensibility that emerged from the collision of European expansion with these frontier environments. Tyrrell traces historical ideas and personalities, provides in-depth discussions of introduced plants species (such as the eucalyptus and Monterey Pine), looks at a number of scientific programs of the time, and measures the impact of race, class, and gender on environmental policy. The book represents a new trend toward studying American history from a transnational perspective, focusing especially on a comparison of American history with the history of similar settler societies. Through the use of original research and an innovative methodology, this book offers a new look at the history of environmentalism on a regional and global scale.
Download or read book The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted written by Frederick Law Olmsted and published by . This book was released on 1990-06 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As general manager of the Mariposa Estate, Olmsted undertook to run the largest gold-mining operation in the country at the time. While there, he carefully observed frontier society and the stages of its development. His letters contain many vignettes of frontier life, as do two previously unpublished works--a series of chapters, some incomplete, dealing with the influence of emigration and the frontier on American society, and a study of the Mariposa Estate as "a frontier community of the present day"... Olmsted's letters and journals describe summer camping trips to Yosemite Valley and his work as head of the first commission for managing the public reservation there. The volume also contains the four reports that Olmsted wrote for major design projects in California: the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Big Tree Grove reservation, a park system for San Francisco, Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, and the campus of the College of California in Berkeley.

Book excerpt: From Yellowstone to the Great Smoky Mountains, America's national parks are sprawling tracts of serenity, most of them carved out of public land for recreation and preservation around the turn of the last century. America has changed dramatically since then, and so has its conceptions of what parkland ought to be. In this book, one of our premier environmental historians looks at the new phenomenon of urban parks, focusing on San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area as a prototype for the twenty-first century. Cobbled together from public and private lands in a politically charged arena, the GGNRA represents a new direction for parks as it highlights the long-standing tension within the National Park Service between preservation and recreation. Long a center of conservation, the Bay Area was well positioned for such an innovative concept. Writing with insight and wit, Rothman reveals the many complex challenges that local leaders, politicians, and the NPS faced as they attempted to administer sites in this area. He tells how Representative Phillip Burton guided a comprehensive bill through Congress to establish the park and how he and others expanded the acreage of the GGNRA, redefined its mission to the public, forged an identity for interconnected parks, and struggled against formidable odds to obtain the San Francisco Presidio and convert it into a national park. Engagingly written, The New Urban Park offers a balanced examination of grassroots politics and its effect on municipal, state, and federal policy. While most national parks dominate the economies of their regions, GGNRA was from the start tied to the multifaceted needs of its public and political constituents-including neighborhood, ethnic, and labor interests as well as the usual supporters from the conservation movement. As a national recreation area, GGNRA helped redefine that category in the public mind. By the dawn of the new century, it had already become one of the premier national park areas in terms of visitation. Now as public lands become increasingly scarce, GGNRA may well represent the future of national parks in America. Rothman shows that this model works, and his book will be an invaluable resource for planning tomorrow's parks.
