Surrounding ourselves with nature does wonders for our bodies, from better mental health to healthier hearts and stronger developing immune systems. So much so that some doctors are literally prescribing nature as a treatment. New research may have found a potential explanation for some of these benefits: People living in areas surrounded by nature tend to have younger biological ages.

"Construction of a massive municipal park—over 20 years in the making, is finally underway in the city of Irvine.

They say if California became its own country, it would have one of the world’s largest economies. The new Great Park of Irvine is a reflection of the always lofty ambitions of the state, and is expected to dwarf Central Park by more than 500 acres.

It was on May 23rd this year that the “Great Park Project” broke ground on the long-derelict El Toro Marine Corps Base, 21 years after voters approved a ballot measure ordering the state to create a park on the site.

Expected to take another 10 years to complete, the park will span 1,300 acres and include several museums, an amphitheater, a veterans memorial garden, an aquatics center, a sports complex, and not one but two lakes.

“After many years of community input and after the last year of intensive planning and design, we are excited to be launching what is a $1 billion investment to establish the world’s next great metropolitan park,” said Irvine City Councilman Michael Carroll who serves as Chairman of the Great Park Board...

First item of work on the agenda is to demolish and clear away 77 old military buildings while leaving the El Toro air traffic control tower which will be leased by the FAA. However a portion of the Irvine Great Park, as it’s being called, is already open to visitors and includes a soccer pitch and some other amenities including tethered balloons to take visitors up into the sky."

More of this, please!!!

Also, I checked, and somehow the tethered balloon thing is not only real it's actually free. They go up 400 ft in the air

The Layered Woodlouse Mounds [Wildlife habitat sculpture] Stoneware with glaze June 2023

Amy Haigh

This new commission by Amy Haigh is a sculptural habitat (in stoneware with glaze), to be situated outdoors in a publicly accessible greenspace. The Layered Woodlouse Mounds (2023) act as a monument to its namesake species. Although the inhabitants are not seen by human observers for the most part, they live and search for food within the Mounds’ hidden sanctuaries, revealing themselves in fleeting moments as they leave and enter. … for more of my work see www.amyhaigh.com

The Mounds were shown at the Royal Horticultural Society Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in 2023.

The newly renovated Downtown Garland Square was built by Hill & Wilkinson and designed by Studio Outside, with lighting by Essential Light Design Studio.

On track to become a can’t-miss destination for festivals, live music, and special events, the City of Garland Square renovation includes an expansive recreational lawn, a tree house playscape within a larger imaginative play area for kids, a shade pavilion for impromptu concerts, starlit patios, an urban water feature, and a distinctive vertical prism gateway feature that illuminates at night. The prisms will also serve as a colorful background for live music on the Square.
