Seattle Plant Ecologist Michael Yadrick Talks Discovery Park and Restoration of the Reflecting Ponds.
A very big honor to chat with Seattle Plant Ecologist, Michael Yadrick, about Discovery Park and the Reflecting Ponds.
Walking past the Reflecting ponds each weekend one can easily see a project is under way.
There is a very large tubing diverting the stream flowing into the pond around it and then rejoining the water that continues to the stream below.
The sign tells us they are in the process of draining the pond in order to remove the Iris and restore the native plants.
In this podcast Michael tells us the history of this man made pond and the difficulty of maintaining this area in accordance with the city and the wishes of the Native Americans that inhabit the area.
Not only do we discuss the frogs and the ducks but Michael Yadrick tells us the history of the park and the plan and philosophy for the futre.
Thank you Michael, for taking time to chat with us today.

Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner Talks About The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Their Anger Over The Texas Abortion Ruling
Many thanks to Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner for taking time to chat with the Ronnie Republic this morning.
She told us about the legacy of Matilda Joslyn Gage and her contributions to Women's Rights in The United States.
Dr. Wager is the founder and executive director of The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Center for Social Justice in Fayetteville, New York.
Here she is in our podcast talking about the museum located at 210 E. Genesee St in Fayetteville, New York, 13066.
The museum is located in the historic home of Matilda Gage.
Not a usual historic site, this museum allows kids to write on the walls, play with vintage dolls and try on the clothes of the day.
Agree or disagree, we can sit down with Sally for tea and cookies and talk about our differences.
Here is a link to the museum for more information:

Couldn't resist asking Dr. Wagner for her thoughts on the recent Texas ruling on abortion.
I'm pissed off and Matilda would be angry and fighting.
She goes into further detail in the podcast and does not mind holding Mitch McConnell's feet to the fire.
Her passion is beautiful and contagious and I feel so lucky to have spoken with her today.
Faisal Saleh Talks The Power of Art At The Palestine Museum US
We are telling the story of the people of Palestine through art and culture.
We not only showcase traditional art work but we also spotlight the cuisine, sewing and fabric art of the people of Palestine.
A huge honor to speak with Faisal Saleh from The Palestine Museum US to tell us the history of the museum, how they got started in Connecticut and their goals for the future.
We are trying to let visitors know about the lives of the Palestinians through the powerful visual medium of artwork as opposed to a constant political message.
When we watch the news we do not really have a chance to see the delicious food or folks just going on with the tasks of daily living. Here we have a chance to remember that these are individuals--cooking and going to school or work, making friends and relaxing at home.
This is a different and exciting take on the current situation and it is interesting to see the lives of individuals from the focus of the tasks of daily living.
Since the COVID outbreak the museum has created a large and successful presence on-line.
There are new presentations every week.
Thank you, Faisal Saleh, for taking time out of your very busy day to tell The Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up about your enterprise.
All of our lives will be enriched with this new knowledge.
