Restoration Conversations

I really liked the way this podcast took the complicated problem of rebuilding and making wetland sustainable and broke it down piece by piece.

What a nice episode discussing Petty Island and the work being done to recover from its industrial past. Really enjoyed hearing the historical tidbits as well. My Dad grew up in Kensington, a mile or so west of Penn Treaty park which you mentioned. I spoke with him after listening to the program and he never heard of Petty Island. He grew up in a different era where people considered any trip outside of their neighborhood a big deal. He lived and play around Norris Square Park and St Boniface church (a brownstone building from the 1870s which was his family church and school). The church was falling part and finally demolished in 2012 or so. Fortunately they built new row houses in the style of the old neighborhood. Look forward to hearing and learning more from you!

I look forward to the upcoming episodes and to learning about these important restoration projects!
