Zvaifadza kumiririra Tree Davis pamusangano wegore rino wePartners in Community Forestry National Conference muPittsburgh (ndinotenda zvikuru California ReLeaf kuita kuti kupinda kwangu kugoneke!). Musangano wepagore weVadyidzani mukana wakasarudzika wevasina purofiti, maarborists, masangano everuzhinji, masayendisiti uye dzimwe nyanzvi dzemiti kuti vauye pamwe chete kuti vabatane, vabatane, uye vadzidze nezvetsvagiridzo itsva uye nzira dzakanakisa dzekuunza kumba kuti dzibatsire kuvaka humwe hunhu mumaguta edu.
Ndakanga ndisati ndamboenda kuPittsburgh, uye ndakafadzwa nerunako rwayo rwekudonha, makomo, nzizi uye nhoroondo yakapfuma. Musanganiswa wedhorobha wezvivakwa zvitsva zvemazuva ano uye skyscrapers zvakasanganiswa nezvidhinha zvekare zvekoloni zvakagadzira denga rinoshamisa, uye rakagadzirirwa kufamba kunonakidza. Iro dhorobha rakakomberedzwa nenzizi dzinogadzira peninsula inonzwa yakafanana neManhattan kana Vancouver, BC. Kumucheto kwekumadokero kwedhorobha, rwizi rweMonongahela (imwe yenzizi shoma dziri munyika inoyerera kuchamhembe) uye rwizi Allegheny dzinosangana kuti dziumbe Ohio ine simba, ichigadzira nyika ine mativi matatu ayo vagari venzvimbo vanodaidza nerudo se "The Point". Art yakawanda uye guta riri kutatarika nevechidiki vari kushanda kuvaka mabasa. Chinonyanya kukosha (kune isu vanoda miti), kune miti miduku yakawanda yakasimwa pedyo nenzizi uye mudhorobha. Inzvimbo yakanaka sei yemusangano wemuti!
Nenguva isipi ndakaziva zvakawanda pamusoro pokuti kumwe kudyarwa kwemiti mitsva uku kwakavapo sei. Mune imwe yemharidzo dzisingakanganwiki dzemusangano, Muti Pittsburgh, ivo Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, uye Davey Resource Group akapa yavo Urban Forest Master Plan yePittsburgh. Hurongwa hwavo hwakanyatsoratidza kuti kuvaka kudyidzana pakati pevasiri purofiti uye masangano ehurumende munzvimbo, dunhu, uye dunhu rose kunogona kuburitsa mhedzisiro isina kana boka rimwechete raigona kuwana riri roga. Zvaizorodza kuona chirongwa chenharaunda chemiti pamatanho ese ehurumende, sezvo pakupedzisira izvo zvinoitwa nenharaunda imwe chete, zvichakanganisa muvakidzani wayo uye zvakasiyana. Saka, Pittsburgh ine chirongwa chikuru chemuti. Asi chokwadi chakaonekwa sei pasi?
Mushure memangwanani akabatikana paZuva 1 remusangano, vapindi vakakwanisa kusarudza kushanya kuti vaone miti (nezvimwe zvinoonekwa) muPittsburgh. Ndakasarudza rwendo rwebhasikoro uye handina kuodzwa mwoyo. Takaona zvichangobva kusimwa mioki nemamepu mujinga merwizi - mazhinji acho akadyarwa munzvimbo dzaimbova maindasitiri dzaimbozadzwa nesora. Takachovhawo bhasikoro kupfuura nhoroondo yakachengetedzwa uye ichiri kushandiswa zvakanaka Duquesne incline, njanji yakarereka (kana kuti funicular), imwe yembiri dzasara muPittsburgh. (Takadzidza kuti kwaimbove nevazhinji, uye iyi yaive nzira yakajairika yekufamba muPittsburgh yakawedzera maindasitiri ekare). Chakanyanya kukosha kwaiva kuona zviuru makumi mavirith muti wakasimwa neWestern Pennsylvania Conservancy's Tree Vitalize chirongwa chakatanga muna 2008. Miti zviuru makumi maviri mumakore mashanu chinhu chinoshamisa. Sezviri pachena, iyo 20,000th muti, muouki muchena wedhamu, wairema anenge makirogiramu 6,000 XNUMX pawakasimwa! Zvinotaridza kunge kuvaka Urban Sango Master Plan uye kubatanidza vadyidzani vazhinji kwakataridzika zvakanaka pasi zvakare.
Kunyangwe, vamwe vedu vanoda miti hatingade kuzvibvuma, zvematongerwo enyika chikamu chekuvaka nharaunda dzakasimba nemiti. Musangano wePartners Conference waive nenguva yakakosha maererano neizvi, sezvo Chipiri raive zuva reSarudzo. Meya achangobva kusarudzwa wePittsburgh akanga ari parudungwe rwokutaura, uye mufungo wangu wokutanga wakanga uri Ko dai asina kuhwina musarudzo nezuro manheru...mumwe mukomana angadai achitaura here? Nenguva isipi ndakaona, kuti meya mutsva, Bill Peduto, akanga ari mukurukuri akavimbika sevamwe, sezvo akakunda sarudzo usiku hwapfuura ne85% yevhoti! Hazvina kuipa kune asiri pachigaro. Meya Peduto akaratidza kuzvipira kwake kumiti nemasango emaguta nekutaura kune vateereri vevanoda miti pasina kupfuura maawa maviri ekurara. Akandirova sameya aienderana nePittsburgh yechidiki, ine hunyanzvi, inongwarira zvakatipoteredza. Pane imwe nguva akataura kuti Pittsburgh yaimbova "Seattle" yeUS uye kuti yakagadzirira Pittsburgh kuti ifunge zvakare sehubhu yevanyori, vanogadzira, vanogadzira, uye kwezvakatipoteredza.
PaZuva 2, State Senator Jim Ferlo akataura kumusangano wemuti. Akaratidzira tarisiro yaMayor Peduto nezve ramangwana renyika, asi akapawo yambiro yakakasharara nezve mabatiro ari kuita hydraulic fracturing (fracking) muPennsylvania. Sezvauri kuona pamepu iyi yePennsylvania fracking, Pittsburgh yakakomberedzwa nefracking. Kunyangwe maPittsburghers akashanda nesimba kuvaka guta rakagadzikana mukati memuganho weguta, kune matambudziko ezvakatipoteredza kunze kwemiganhu. Izvi zvaiita sehumwe humbowo hwekuti zvakakosha kuti mapoka emunharaunda, edunhu, uye epasirese ezvemamiriro ekunze ashande pamwechete kuti awane kusimba uye nharaunda iri nani.
Imwe yemharidzo dzangu dzandaifarira paZuva 2 yaive Presentation yaDr. William Sullivan Miti uye Utano Hwevanhu. Vazhinji vedu vanoratidzika kuva vane murangariro womuzvarirwo wokuti “Miti Yakanaka,” uye isu munharaunda yesango yomumaguta tinopedza nguva yakawanda tichitaura pamusoro pebetsero dzemiti nokuda kwemhoteredzo yedu, asi zvakadiniko nomuuyo wemiti pachimiro chedu nomufarwa? Dr. Sullivan akapa makumi emakore eongororo inoratidza kuti miti ine simba rekutibatsira kuporesa, kushanda pamwe chete, uye kufara. Mune chimwe chezvidzidzo zvake zvenguva pfupi yapfuura, Dr. Sullivan akasimbisa zvidzidzo nekuita kuti vaite matambudziko ekubvisa nguva dzose kwemaminitsi e5 (izvo zvinonzwika zvinonetsa!). Dr. Sullivan akayera mazinga ecortisol (homoni inodzora kushungurudzika) pamberi uye mushure memaminitsi mashanu. Akaona kuti zvidzidzo zvaive nemazinga epamusoro ecortisol mushure memaminitsi mashanu ekubvisa zvichiratidza kuti vaive vakanyanya kushushikana. Pashure pacho, akaratidza zvimwe zvidzidzo mifananidzo yenzvimbo dzisina miti, dzekongiri, uye dzimwe nzvimbo dzine miti mishomanana, uye dzimwe nzvimbo dzine miti yakawanda. Akawanei? Zvakanaka, akaona kuti zvidzidzo zvakaona nzvimbo dzine miti yakawanda dzine mazinga akaderera ecortisol pane zvidzidzo zvinotarisa nzvimbo dzine miti mishoma zvichireva kuti kungotarisa miti kunogona kutibatsira kugadzirisa cortisol uye kusanyanya kunetseka. Zvinoshamisa!!!
Ndakadzidza zvakawanda muPittsburgh. Ndiri kusiya ruzivo rusingaperi runobatsira nezve nzira dzesocial media, fundraiser yakanakisa maitiro, kubvisa masora nemakwai (chaizvo!), uye yakanaka yekufamba nerwizi chikepe iyo yaibvumira vaivepo kuti vawedzere kubatana uye kutibatsira kuona zvatinoita kubva kune imwe nzira. Sezvo munhu angatarisira, masango emumaguta akanyatsosiyana muIowa neGeorgia pane zviri muDavis. Kudzidza nezvemaonero akasiyana uye matambudziko kwakandibatsira kunzwisisa kuti kudyara miti nekuvaka nharaunda hakupereri pamiganhu yeguta uye kuti isu tese tiri mune izvi pamwe chete. Ndinovimba kuti vamwe vakapinda vakanzwa saizvozvo, uye kuti tinokwanisa kuramba tichivaka network mumaguta edu, nyika, nyika, nenyika kuronga nharaunda iri nani mune ramangwana. Kana paine chero chinhu chingatiunza tese pamwechete kuti tive nemufaro, hutano, nyika, isimba remiti.
