Petroglyph expert Paul Nevin uses a wet sponge to reveal carvings made up to 1,000 years ago on rocks in the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pa., on Oct. 6, 2020. Made by an Algonquin-speaking group known as the Shenks Ferry people, many petroglyphs on a stretch of the Susquehanna were flooded by dam construction decades ago, but sites like Big and Little Indian Rock are now on the National Register of Historic Places.

MacArthur Elementary School is seen in Binghamton, N.Y., on Aug. 30, 2019. After remnants of Tropical Storm Lee indundated the school with over three feet of water from the nearby Susquehanna River, the school was rebuilt with numerous measures to improve its resilience to flooding. The lower level of the school, sitting in the river's flood plain, was converted to a playground that can flood without lasting damage, while rain gardens and other structures to soak up and filter stormwater are scattered throughout the campus.

The James River is seen in downtown Richmond, Va., on Aug. 13, 2019. Like many cities on the eastern seaboard, Richmond was established along the fall line, the area of geological transition between coastal plain and Piedmont, where rivers often have a steeper gradient and become too rocky for large vessels. Cities like Richmond became the terminus for ships carrying goods as far as they could upstream. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

USDA Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Dr. Homer Wilkes, U.S. Senator Cory Booker and White House Senior Advisor for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation John Podesta announced historic funding through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expand access to urban nature, combat the climate crisis, and advance environmental justice, after meeting with local and state stake holders, April 12, 2023, in Newark, New Jersey.
The funding announced today is part of a $1.5 billion investment in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The grant funding is available to community-based organizations, tribes, municipal and state governments, nonprofit partners, universities, and other eligible entities as they work to increase tree cover in urban spaces and boost equitable access to nature while bolstering resilience to extreme heat, storm-induced flooding, and other climate impacts. This historic level of investment will enable the Forest Service to support projects to improve public health, increase access to nature, and deliver real economic and ecological benefits to cities, towns and tribal communities across the country.

Everett Hansen. Battle Axe Port Orford cedar common garden site. Port Orford cedar technical committee meeting site visit. BLM Roseburg District, Oregon.
Note: "Long-term common garden out-planting study—Short duration tests in low-stress nursery environments are not well suited for the expression of cumulative response to environmental stresses. Long-term field common garden studies are designed to reveal adaptive-based G-x-E interactions for guiding seed zoning and transfer. Four common garden sites were planted in 1996: Humboldt Nursery in McKinleyville, California, Trinity Lake on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, and Althouse and Chetco on the Siskiyou National Forest. In 1998, an additional site, Battle Axe, was established on the BLM Roseburg District, which expanded the original 266 families to include samples from the northeast part of the range of Port-Orford-cedar."

Baltimore Maryland, War Memorial Plaza, February 20, 2014. In front of City Hall over 2,000 climate justice activists assemble for an unexpectedly sizable daytime rally and march in opposition to the expansion of a "natural" gas transfer and storage facility at Cove Point on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The pending expansion of the facility is largely seen by environmentalists as a dirty and dangerous enabler for the accelerated overseas export of fracked gas from nearby states.
Inspired by the traditional all-night concerts along India’s Ganges River, Sun to Stars evokes the traditional durbar and bethak-style concerts where performers and audiences interact in an informal setting to create an intimate artistic experience. With a backdrop defined by both natural and urban elements, the performers present work that grapples with the environment, be it through mythological folktales or a particular raga connected to nature.
The Sun to Stars festival is solar-powered by the energy collected by the photovoltaic panels on the Solar 1 roof. The event also features a market place that includes regional South Asian cuisine from local chefs, Indian style seating with floor rugs and cushions, and information about important local South Asian and environmental nonprofit organizations.
Cattails grow at Dutch Gap Conservation Area in Chesterfield County, Va., on Aug. 12, 2019. The area protects 810 acres of woods, wetlands and wildlife bordering the James River, and in 2017 a boardwalk for hiking and viewing, as well as a paddle craft launch were installed. The Audubon Society names Dutch Gap one of the top birding sites in Virginia. Home to a large heron rookery, it attracts bald eagles and other hard-to-find species.

FENDI BAGUETTE BAG ANNIVERSARY | FENDI POP-UP
New York, New York
situation
“It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette,” quipped Sarah Jessica Parker in “Sex in the City,”—forever immortalizing it as a fashion staple. Conceived by Silvia Venturini Fendi, the prominent fashion clutch is commemorating its 25th anniversary and is the feature for the Fendi winter 2022 capsule.
To celebrate, Fendi unveiled a New York pop-up boutique, situated at 90 Prince St. in the heart of SoHo. This 1,850 square-foot space was transformed to showcase the Fendi Baguette collection. Teaming with agency Innercity (IC-YA), Britten WoodWorks would craft the essential elements to transform a vacant storefront into a playful pop-up befitting the Fendi brand.
The principal feature would be oversized reproductions of the Baguette itself, fitted for product merchandising display. True to Britten’s capabilities, creating this larger-than-life design adds amusing dimension to the space.
solution
Using formed plywood as the core interior and Brittens's Foam3D™ elements to construct the compound curves and edges, Britten WoodWorks crafted outsized replicants of the iconic handbag—detailed down to the flap, clasp, and signature sleek edges.
Spanning 10’ high and 12’ wide and equipped with floating shelves and ready-to-wear racks, each Baguette was integrated with 3000K LED lighting to house and highlight the collection’s pieces.
Configured in three sets of match pairs, two in jewel-tone green, two in light pink, and two in Tiffany blue, each were color-matched to the exacting hues of the rest of the Fendi interior.
impact
By entrusting Britten WoodWorks, Fendi conveyed its aspirations for a phenomenal pop-up and its brand perception. The finished detailed interior cemented Britten WoodWorks as a complete idea-to-install fabricator and capable partner to shoulder the weighty brand presence of Fendi.
The results demonstrate Britten WoodWorks' ability to produce refined finish details that match highly stylized brand expectations with the technical demands of retail merchandising. From concept to installation in just four weeks, expediate skilled work is another benefit of partnering with Britten, Inc.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in South Sudan said illegal wild life poaching and trade is driving species to extinction in the country.
Decades of civil war and the recent conflict in South Sudan has threatened to push some of the country’s wild life to extinction with poaching of elephants on the rise, Arshad Khan, UNEP Country Manager said this during a press conference in Juba on June 8, 2016.
UNEP Country Manager attributed to some confirmed sources that the figures that, estimate that the population of elephants which used to be “80,000 to 100,000 in 1970s there are only now 500 elephants in South Sudan left.”
On other hand, he said deforestation in South Sudan is one of the highest rates and fears that if this trend continues at this rate in the coming fifty to sixty years there will be no forest left in South Sudan. The current deforestation rate is between 1.2 to 1.5 percent per year.
There is a great need to halt and reverse these trend by working together to raise awareness, enact and enforce stronger laws, and step up support to local communities’ efforts to stop illegal trade in wildlife in the country.”

A Water and Forestry ranger surveils a field where trees have been illegally cut down within Tiogo Forest, Burkina Faso on May 25, 2014. The trees were cut due to the inability for forest rangers to reach the area and undertake surveillance. Flooding of a nearby stream means the crossing is inaccessible for forest rangers. With the support of World Bank funding the stream will be dammed. The Forest of Tiogo in the west of Burkina Faso is one of six protected forests to benefit from the Forest Investment Program of the Climate Investment Fund. 1/4 of its 30,000 hectares have suffered degradation mainly due to overgrazing, agriculture, exploitation of its timber and non timber products.
