For Everything, There is a Season
Drawing from decades of research, Setha Low shows how public space contributes to a flourishing society through promoting social justice and democratic practices. Thriving public spaces also enhance creativity, health, urban resilience, and environmental sustainability. Yet more than ever, public spaces across the world are threatened by urban development, privatization and neglect.
Teton Conservation District’s Pocket Guide to Native flora in Teton County is a short, yet robust catalog of plants. The Pocket Guide identifies six characteristics with each species outlined: growth form, fire resistance, toxicity, drought tolerance, moisture usage, and soil type. This like-minded organization offers each guide in digital format as well.
Inspired by Dr. Craighead’s work, Trevor Bloom’s video documentation of the now altered seasonal occurrences provide evidence of the GYE’s changing systems. Bloom’s continuation of Craighead’s work is carrying on one of the most detailed catalogs of its’ kind.
Teton Conservation District’s comprehensive List of Native Plants is here in another digital guide. All species on this database have been found commercially online or at local nurseries. For more information about availability check your local plant nurseries list.
