    By 2007, and continuing into 2008 and beyond,
    extending a Naturalist [3]/Naive approach, keeping in mind the complexity of relationships between people and
    nature is emphasized, along with the importance of establishing more mutualistic social structures that take
    account of this,[4] in face lifting the Open Space property to blend the surroundings and habituates, by nature of
    the architecture, even though the property was a old industrial sight the clean up and transformation was done without the use
    or damaging effects of heavy equipment, the natural islands were left, only invasive weeds and vines were taken away along with
    the none organic debris and only grass and some hostas were planted. The property and walnut grove was left intact. Located
    At the corner of Wabash and Garfield ave, extending to Route 9 in Linwood, NJ. known as the South Jersey Industries [5]
    (SJI Prop.),[6][7] because its prier owners were "South Jersey Industries". Before that the sight of the Hagerthy
    Fuel Oil Company.
    From sometime between 1975-83 the property sat idle, until the city of Linwood [8] acquired part of it in 2003 [9]
    through Green Acres [10]. It was overgrown, contaminated [11], full of trash and vines [12]. Part of it was a field
    with gravel and asphalt where the Fuel Docks,outbildings and trucks turned around showed in these oil fire pictures
    from 1975,[13](disregard time stamps, they were pictures of photos from the Linwood fire dept albums), Now the
    sight of SJI Parks open field [14]
    In time cleaning, clearing, grubbing vines and overgrowth,[15] poising ivy, raking stones filling holes, grading with a
    homemade grader,[16],trimming trees, pulling weeds and roots, everything by hand. Mulching everything with a
    customized riding lawnmower [17], and planting grass throughout. Watered with a homemade spreader made from
    a plastic barrel.[18]
    The City of Linwood NJ at times working hand and hand to take away all the trash, asphalt, rotten wood, block,
    brick, grub, anything and everything that came off the sight. With there support especially of the counsel
    president [19][20], who would later walk her dog there as well as well as many locals. It was cleaned up.[21]
    Intimate with the wild life there, there are many pictures of the foliage [22] and the wildlife, especially of a juvenile
    red tailed hawk that had no fear. pictured within five feet of it [23] while it was feeding. Pictures of box Turtles, once
    of one laying eggs.[24] Abandon baby duck had shown up and eventually bonded with people.[25] The duck is now
    a pet of one of the local police officers brother, that worked at a zoo and could give her a proper home. He had first
    took her to the zoo but she flew back to his house so they kept her as a pet. she had six chicks. Songs were
    written at and about the open space and nature there, sparking the making of ten's of videos of most of the opens
    spaces in Linwood that had a natural flavor to them [26]. Local residence referred to it now as a park.[27
