Green Pastures and Green Mountains

Walk through one of Vermont's most beautiful landscapes, under the shade of sugar maples and 400-year-old hemlocks, across covered bridges and alongside rambling stone walls. This is a landscape of loss, recovery, and conservation. This is a story of stewardship, of people taking care of places - sharing an enduring connection to land and a sense of hope for the future.

2011 Artist in Residence

Writer Wendy Call will be the 2011 Artist in Residence at the Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont. This program, begun in 2007 by the K2 Family Foundation, invites one artist each year to work in the park for two months.

Call will be in residence at Vermont's only national park from July 26 to September 24, 2011, working in a historic bungalow on park grounds, exploring the relationships among land, community, and identity. She will offer writing workshops for park visitors, staff, and local educators. Call's writing revolves around issues of community organization and environmental stewardship; in her workshops, participants will explore their relationship to the land that surrounds them and what it means to be a Vermonter.

My Green Park: Green Inside/Out

This past March, the Sustainable Operations and Climate Change (SOCC) Branch of the Park Facility Management (PFMD) division sponsored the inaugural My Green Parks Video Contest. The contest encourages parks and regions to develop a short (2-3 minute) video sharing their “green” accomplishments. In response, twenty-one parks and one regional office submitted twenty-three unique videos. Videos were evaluated based on four subject areas including 1) Innovation of projects, 2) Artistic quality of videos, 3.) Community/partner engagement and 4) Interpretation of projects to visitors.

Contest winners will be featured at workshops, park websites, conferences and the soon to be released My Green Parks intranet site. These videos will also be used to educate the public and other NPS staff about what they can do to contribute to our conservation mission by integrating sustainability into their daily lives or park operations.

“My Green Park: Green Inside/Out” by Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park won awards in the following categories:

Community/Partner Engagement – 1st Place
Interpretation of Projects to Visitors – 2nd Place
Quality and Innovation of Project - 3rd Place
