TO SECURE THE GREENWAY'S FUTURE AS ONE OF AMERICA'S FOREMOST URBAN PARKS, THE CONSERVANCY ADVOCATES FOR STANDARDS OF CONSISTENCY AND EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN; MANAGES ITS OPERATIONS WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO CREATE, FINANCE, PROMOTE, AND COORDINATE PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND EVENTS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO ENJOY; AND RAISES ADEQUATE AND STABLE FUNDING IN SUPPORT OF LONG-RANGE PUBLIC USES. 19 19 52 768 0 15933 4832545 3618130 1188861 1475286 1794235 1258334 -53735 -72431 7761906 6279319 0 0 0 0 2920486 2934530 35775 31013 550817 2180600 2377761 5136861 5343304 2625045 936015 24061082 22343914 464864 544503 23596218 21799411 X SEE PART I, LINE 1 0 0 2709203 102063 SEE ATTACHED SCH O-MAINTENANCE, HORTICULTURE, AND RANGERSHORTICULTURETHE CONSERVANCY CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THE GREENWAY'S PHYSICAL APPEARANCE THROUGH SKILLED, ATTENTIVE ORGANIC LANDSCAPE CARE AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. AS ONE OF ONLY A FEW ORGANICALLY-MAINTAINED PUBLIC PARKS IN THE UNITED STATES THE CONSERVANCY USES ORGANIC AND SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE PRACTICES THAT ARE INNOVATIVE, AWARD-WINNING, AND FISCALLY SOUND AND HELP TO CONTRIBUTE TO PLANTS THAT ARE HEALTHIER, MORE RESILIENT, AND BETTER ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE STRESSES OF PUBLIC USE AND THE DEMANDS OF AN URBAN SETTING. THE CONSERVANCY'S POLICY OF NOT USING HERBICIDES AND TOXINS ALSO ENSURES THAT RUN-OFF WILL NOT POLLUTE BOSTON HARBOR OR HARM ITS DELICATE MARINE LIFE. CHILDREN AND PETS CAN FREELY AND SAFELY PLAY WITHIN OUR PARKS WITHOUT THE WORRY OF PESTICIDES.THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR ORGANIC APPROACH IS THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF OUR OWN COMPOST TEA. THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE AND IMPROVE THE GREENWAY'S SOIL BIOLOGY, LEADING TO INCREASED PLANT HEALTH AND ROOT DEPTH AND SUBSEQUENTLY OVER TIME, A DECREASED NEED FOR APPLICATIONS OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER AND OTHER SOIL AMENDMENTS. A HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL TEAM FOUND THAT OUR ORGANIC CARE IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A NON-ORGANIC PROGRAM. OUR EFFORTS AT SUSTAINABILITY HAVE ALSO EARNED US A MAYOR'S GREENOVATE AWARD AND DESIGNATION OF THE GREENWAY AS A NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT.THROUGH A GENEROUS DONATION FROM THE LYNCH FAMILY FOUNDATION, A MAJOR RENOVATION OF THE SOUTHERN BOXWOOD GARDENS CREATED THE CAROLYN LYNCH GARDEN. A 8,500+ SF AREA THAT HAD BEEN FAILING SINCE THE ORIGINAL PARK CONSTRUCTION WAS REDESIGNED WITH ALL NEW PLANT MATERIAL, REDEFINED BOXWOOD PLANTINGS AND THE CREATION OF A NEW ORNAMENTAL GRASS SLOPE. THE PROJECT WAS ON-TIME AND UNDER-BUDGET. USE OF THE PARK CHANGED IMMEDIATELY, WITH THE PLANTINGS, LIGHTING, AND NEW FURNISHINGS BRINGING NEW VISITORS.PLANNING, DESIGN AND INITIAL INSTALLATION BEGAN FOR A 2019 NATIVE WILDFLOWER MEADOW IN AN UNDEVELOPED PORTION OF THE GREENWAY. THIS MEADOW CREATES AN IMPORTANT AND MUCH NEEDED LINK BETWEEN THE WHARF PARK TO THE NORTH END PARK AS WELL AS ESTABLISHING A KEY CONNECTION IN THE GREENWAY-WIDE POLLINATOR RIBBON. THE MEADOW WILL GROW IN OVER SEVERAL YEARS, WITH SEED GERMINATION BEGINNING IN THE SPRING OF 2019 AND ADDITIONAL PLANTS ADDED IN OVER TIME.OTHER SIGNIFICANT HORTICULTURAL PROJECTS IN 2018 INCLUDE AN INSTALLATION OF NATIVE SEDGE IN THE BIRCH ISLANDS, THE FIRST PHASE OF THE REJUVENATION OF THE CHINATOWN BAMBOO PLANTINGS, AND THE ADDITION OF 30,000 MORE BULBS. ADDITIONAL HORTICULTURAL IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDED A RENOVATION PLANTING OF MISCANTHUS GRASSES IN CHINATOWN, ADDITIONS OF NATIVE PLANT MATERIAL AROUND THE PROMENADE, AND THE INTRODUCTION OF EDUCATIONAL SIGNAGE IN ALL OUR POLLINATOR RIBBON AREAS.WE MADE CONTINUED EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM, DID CORRECTIVE PRUNING OF NUMEROUS TREES, AND CARED FOR 90 CONTAINERS.

WORKING SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER WITH OUR HORTICULTURAL STAFF, THE COMMUNITY LEARNS ABOUT OUR ORGANIC CARE IN THIS UNIQUE ROOFTOP GARDEN. IN 2018 THE HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENT WELCOMED 602 VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTRIBUTED 2,833 HOURS OF INVALUABLE SERVICE. ON THE STRENGTH OF REVIEWS FROM VOLUNTEERS, THE CONSERVANCY HAS WON THE TOP RATED AWARD FROM GREATNONPROFITS.ORG 7 YEARS RUNNING.MAINTENANCEOUR MAINTENANCE TEAM CARES FOR SIX FOUNTAINS, ACRES OF GRANITE PAVING, COMPLEX LIGHTING SYSTEMS, AND MORE.

GREENWAY PUBLIC ART GIVES RESIDENTS, WORKERS, AND TOURISTS A REASON TO VISIT, LINGER, AND DISCUSS. IN JUNE, THE PUBLIC ART NETWORK (PAN) OF AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS RECOGNIZED THREE GREENWAY COMMISSIONS AMONG THEIR LIST OF THE TOP 50 PUBLIC ART WORKS OF 2017: MEHDI GHADYANLOO'S MURAL ON THE GREENWAY WALL ENTITLED "SPACES OF HOPE," MEREDITH JAMES' INTERACTIVE AMES ROOM ENTITLED "FAR FROM THIS SETTING IN WHICH I NOW FIND MYSELF, AND MARK REIGELMAN'S SCULPTURE, "THE MEETING HOUSE." THE THREE PAN AWARDS IN ONE YEAR, AND THE SEVEN THE CONSERVANCY HAS WON SINCE 2013, PLACE THE CONSERVANCY IN A PREEMINENT POSITION AMONG NON-PROFITS IN THE U.S.IN 2018, THE CONSERVANCY BROUGHT CONTEMPORARY EXHIBITS TO THE GREENWAY FROM 8 ARTISTS: (4 NATIONAL AND 4 LOCAL). THESE PROJECTS REPRESENTED AN ARRAY OF CULTURES, PERSPECTIVES, AND ARTISTIC STYLES, APPEALING TO A WIDE RANGE OF AUDIENCES IN THIS FREE, ACCESSIBLE, AND OUTDOOR EXHIBIT THAT STRETCHES ACROSS A FOUR-BLOCK SECTION OF THE GREENWAY.THE MAJOR EXHIBITION OF THE SEASON WAS GLOW, CENTERED AROUND THE INSTALLATION OF EIGHT HISTORIC NEON SIGNS OWNED BY MALDEN-BASED COLLECTOR DAVE WALLER, WHICH WERE INSTALLED DURING THE FIRST HALF OF MAY ON THE GREENWAY NEAR THE RINGS FOUNTAIN, BETWEEN INDIA AND STATE STREETS. WALLER'S VINTAGE NEON SIGNS, FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES C.1925-1970, SERVED AS ILLUMINATED MONUMENTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS, BUSINESSES, AND EVERYDAY LIVES OF OUR RECENT PAST. MANY OF THE SIGNS IN THE EXHIBIT WERE ONCE ICONIC LANDMARKS IN COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY DUE TO URBAN RENEWAL, SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS AND GENTRIFICATION. BY EXHIBITING THESE SIGNS TOGETHER AND AMIDST THE GREENWAY'S PERMANENT LIGHT BLADES, THE CONSERVANCY CREATED A NEW GEOGRAPHY OF LIGHT.THE HISTORICAL NEON SIGNS WERE COMPLEMENTED BY TWO CONTEMPORARY, COMMISSIONED WORKS THAT UTILIZED LIGHT AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES. LUFTWERK'S ARTWORK TITLED TRANSITION (LOCATED BETWEEN OLIVER STREET AND HIGH STREET), TOOK ITS INSPIRATION FROM THE I-93 TUNNEL SYSTEM LIGHTS AND THE HISTORY OF THE BIG DIG. A SERIES OF MEANDERING WIRE FRAMES SHONE A TUNNEL OF LIGHT ALONG THE PATH IN THE PARK. UNLIKE THE ELEVATED HIGHWAY THAT ONCE DIVIDED THE CITY, TRANSITION WELCOMED AND INVITED CONNECTIVITY, ALLOWING FOR ACCESS AS A PROCESSION THROUGH AND ON THE PATH.THE CONSERVANCY COMMISSIONED ANNE LILLY'S TEMPLE OF MNEMON, WHICH WAS INSTALLED ON THE GREENWAY JUST SOUTH OF INDIA STREET. TEMPLE OF MNEMON WAS PART OF LILLY'S SERIES OF MIRROR-WORKS THAT PROBE SELF-PERCEPTION AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF BEING AND OTHERNESS. THE ARTWORK WAS A LENS -- A FILTER TO BE LOOKED THROUGH MORE THAN AN OBJECT TO TO BE SEEN -- A TOOL FOR TRANSFORMING A VISITOR'S OF-THE-MOMENT EXPERIENCE OF SELF AND OTHER. THE MECHANICAL, MIRROR-BASED PIECE REFERENCED THE DISAPPEARANCE OF COMMUNITY AND HOW ONE POSITIONS AND SEES THEMSELVES AS PART OF A WHOLE.IN ADDITION TO THE ARTWORKS, THE GREENWAY CONSERVANCY HELD A FREE PANEL DISCUSSION WITH SOME OF TODAY'S MOST INNOVATIVE LEADERS IN THE FIELD, REVEALING HOW PRESENT-DAY THINKING ABOUT LIGHT CAN CREATE OPEN, INCLUSIVE SPACES FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY. THE CONVERSATION SPARKED NEW THINKING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, CREATIVITY AND THE SHARED LEGACY OF OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN AND GLOW CONSULTANT VICTORIA SOLAN ENGAGED IN DIALOGUE WITH CONTEMPORARY PRACTITIONERS, INCLUDING STAFF OF THE NEON MUSEUM IN LAS VEGAS, AND CONTEMPORARY LIGHT ARTISTS. THE EVENT, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BOSTON CENTER FOR THE ARTS (539 TREMONT STREET), TOOK PLACE ON JULY 12.

THE MURAL BRINGS TO DOWNTOWN BOSTON A CATALYTIC COMBINATION OF ART AND NATURE; AN OUTLOOK THAT FOLLOWS THE CENTRAL MISSION OF DECORDOVA SCULPTURE PARK AND MUSEUM.RISA PUNO'S YEAR OF THE DOG CONTINUED THE ANNUAL CURATION BASED ON THE CHINESE ZODIAC; HER ARTWORK HONORED THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND SHARED EXPERIENCES OF THE CHINATOWN COMMUNITY. THE INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION CONSISTED OF PANELS OF VERTICALLY-MOUNTED SPINNABLE BLOCKS THAT WERE ENGRAVED WITH EXCERPTS OF STORIES COLLECTED FROM MEMBERS OF THE CHINATOWN COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS TRADITIONAL CHINESE CHARACTERS. PUNO'S ARTWORK WAS INSPIRED BY CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO LIVE, WORK OR PLAY IN CHINATOWN. STORIES WERE COLLECTED IN-PERSON AND THROUGH AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT ASKED PARTICIPANTS ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOG, SUCH AS GENEROSITY, LOYALTY, AND THE ABILITY TO WORK WELL WITH OTHERS. THE ARTIST COLLABORATED WITH THE ASIAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION'S YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM ASIAN VOICES OF ORGANIZED YOUTH FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT (A-VOYCE); THE TEENS WORKED IN GROUPS TO BRAINSTORM HOW DOGS, DOG QUALITIES, AND THE YEAR OF THE DOG RELATED TO THEIR CHINATOWN EXPERIENCES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEIR LIVES.
