    Gregs Dad. posted a picture of a huge building.."The Conservation Bldging.." there in Liverpool...

    It would seem to me, that this would be a great place to go to tell the councils about concerns in the Parks, etc...

    Not sure how this works there, but, maybe if you all have a "Meetup" this would be a great place to stop and put in a few names as petitioning what your wishes are..????

    It is sad to learn they make a mess out of Sefton Park, and then don't redo it as quickly as they demolish things? Just not right.. I heard local citizens went out and helped too in relocating the critters, (in concern for conservation)?



    Maybe when the weather clears up a bit.. Spring and new seedlings, etc.. will thrive? As for trees being too old.. Well, sometimes its due to rot from pests. People again.. have nothing better to do , but complain about a tree that has a bruise etc. in it... If trees could talk..just imagine what they could tell us about survival Hope the Conservation Society comes to the rescue to perserve your trees and loveliness that makes it worth a day out there... aloha

    Hi Lilac
    the conservation building is used to renovate and restore old artifacts like statues and such, and also holds small exhibitions now and then

    The palm house at Stanley park has been taken down and sent away to be refurbished, and should be back in a year or two in all its glory

    I think the palm house would need to be dismantled first to repair and clean the cast iron work. Would'nt it be a good idea to site it somewhere in the City Centre or Pierhead so that everyone could enjoy Liverpool's botanic collection.

    Cheers samp.

    A SELECTION of glass bottles thought to date back to the 1890s, some embossed with an image of Stephenson’s Rocket, have been found as builders dismantle the Gladstone Pavilion, in Stanley Park. Read

    Well, Humboldt Park is the center of Chicago Puerto Rican community. It's a neighborhood in a little bit of transition. Lots of low income residents and families sharing space with young urban professionls who are gentrifying the area. On warm summer or fall days, you might see young "yuppie" couples (for lack of a better word) jogging past the the guys hanging out in the park blasting tunes from their cars. It's a colorful area, lots of Puerto Rican clothing stores and record shops and great small restaurants.

    I spent alot of my childhood in Stanley Park, Watching my Uncle Jack playing bowls, fascinated by the flower clock, enjoying endless summer days at the swings, and paddling pool, bike rides around the perimeters.
