MELA Picnic at Chicago Center for Green Technology



What's cool about this picture (courtesy of former MELA president, Mike Nowak) is that the setting is right in the middle of Chicago, just West of downtown. Not only can you see the fabulous prairie plants (on what used to be a brownfield), but up to the right, you can spot one of the cisterns for recycling rain water. You can pierce the smoke if you go to our MELA website and click on annual picnic details. Our current board details will be updated soon, as will our joint APLD/MELA conference on Oct. 26, 2007: "Towards Sustainability: Designing Tomorrow's Landscape Today."
