  • Jin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in California. She studies hard. 'O f course, I carne here for theacademics, she says. "But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk around sometimes just to relax."

    Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. "I never get bored. The park is so big I can always find a different path with a new view.

    Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. 'The footpaths allow you to get a wonderful view. You can feel the spray from the falls on your face.

    What do these three places-Stanford University, Central Park, and Niagara Falls State Park-all have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822-1903) has been called the father of landscape architecture.

    In the l 800s, more andmore people were moving to the cities. Some community leaders became worried about

    I the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.

    In 1857. a design contest was beld for a new park in New York City.Olmsted and his partner, Calvert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished productthe first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.

    later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, induding Stanford University. In the late l860s, he joined the Tree Niagara movement. Members of the movement wanted to preserve the beauty of Niagara Falls. Despite opposition and pressures from businesses to industriare the area, Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area.

    Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls State Park, there are nowsouvenir shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering,* but there is still a lot of trash on the island. Most of the animis have disappeared. What would Frederick Law Olmsted say to all this?
