We, the people of Philadelphia, demand that you STOP the destruction of the FDR Meadows, South Philadelphia's only public green space with urban meadow and woodlands.

I squat to inspect their plastic yellow tags, still attached from the nursery. Standing beside me is Scott Quitel, professor of ecology and founder of the LandHealth Institute. We are in the heart of the so-called “wetland restoration” project, the centerpiece of what the Fairmount Park
