Review for Nature Conservancy, Inc., Arlington, VA, USA
I was stunned when I discovered the nature conservancy was supporting the construction of the Obama presidential center, inside of historic Jackson Park, in Chicago, IL. This center features a central building 235 feet in height. There are also four other buildings, this on twenty acres of the park, designed by F.L. Olmsted, on the National Register. This lies directly in the path of the Great Lakes migratory flyway, and is situated up against the park's nature area. The nature area contains an old growth oak savannah ecosystem known to be eight thousand years old, a micorhyzal community. It is one of the best birding sites in the midwest.
What is sad is that other, equal sites for the OPC are abundant on the Southside of Chicago.
I worked, in the past, with the nature conservancy. But no more. These are mostly people who are in it for their salaries.
