Rural Route: Balancing heritage and economicsAmber Keister
This document summarizes the challenges facing several family farms in Western Wake County as the area faces increasing development pressure. It describes how farms like Upchurch Farm, Green Acres Farm, DJ's Berry Patch, and Phillips Farms have adapted to shifts away from tobacco by embracing agritourism through activities like corn mazes and pick-your-own farms. However, rising land prices mean it is tempting for families to sell their land to developers. The article explores how these farms are navigating a path between tradition and economic realities.
The document discusses several Irish cultural references that appear in the early poetry of Seamus Heaney, including:
1) Peat (or turf), an important fuel source in Ireland that Heaney uses as a metaphor for digging deep into himself creatively.
2) Traditional farming practices like flax production, horse-drawn ploughing, and potato harvesting that were part of Irish rural life.
3) How these references reflect Heaney's upbringing on a farm in Northern Ireland and his exploration of Irish identity in his poetry.

The document summarizes the urbanization process that occurred in England during the Industrial Revolution from 1700-1785. It describes life in a rural village in 1700 and then has the reader play a game where they make changes to a map of the village over time in response to technological and economic changes. New transportation methods like canals led to population growth and enclosure of common lands forced people into cities and factories for work. The village gradually transforms into an industrial town as factories, housing, infrastructure and social problems increase.
The mills of Hammonds Plains played an important role in the area's history from the early 1800s to the mid-1900s. Originally, lumbering and the transportation of logs to Halifax via rivers was the main economic activity. Over time, numerous small mills were established powered by local water sources. In the late 1800s, mills produced lumber and goods like barrels. By the early 1900s, over 18 mills operated in Hammonds Plains. Families like Hays, Moran, and Wright established large mills employing many. As technology advanced, the industry declined after World War 2 due to less emphasis on wood. The last mills closed in the 1990s, marking the end of an era defined by over 200 years of mill operation

Homesteaders - Solutions to Farming ProblemsDHUMPHREYS
The homesteaders on the Great Plains faced many challenges including physically demanding labor without machinery, unpredictable weather, grasshopper plagues, wildfires, and small land plots. They overcame these problems by adopting steel plows, dry farming techniques, wind pumps, barbed wire fencing, and hardier wheat varieties. The government helped by passing laws granting more land, and the arrival of railroads connected homesteaders to new tools and supplies.

This document provides an overview of peasants and farmers in three different countries - England, the USA, and Bengal. It summarizes the key changes and events that impacted rural populations in each region as modern agriculture and integration into global markets took place. In England, the enclosure movement displaced peasants and led to agricultural improvements but also poverty and unrest. In the USA, westward expansion enabled large-scale wheat farming through new technologies but ultimately resulted in the Dust Bowl. In Bengal, the British East India Company coerced peasants into opium production to finance the tea trade with China against their will.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

1829, there were around 3,000 indigenous / aboriginal peoples living within the Swan River region. The
indigenous tribal group, which inhabited the area where City Farm is now located, were the Boorloo tribal group.
This tribal group was also connected, with Noongar / Whadjuk tribal territory area, which encompassed all of the
Swan / Canning river region. The Boorloo tribal group, inhabited Mooro traditional lands, as is indicated in
diagram 1. Mooro / Boorloo tribal lands, right up to the early 1800s, had interconnecting swamps / lakes on the
Swan Coastal plain region, as indicated in diagram 2. In fact for all Noongar / Whadjuk peoples, these
interconnecting swamps / lakes on the Swan Coastal plain, were sacred and created by the “Waggle” spirit
ancestor. All these interconnecting swamps / lakes, were also a food source, for all the Noongar / Whadjuk
peoples, as fish, turtles, shellfish and bird life, etc., were located within these interconnected swamps and lakes.
The Perth - City Farm area, at this time, was located on / or near one of these swamps / lakes, named by
Europeans at the time, as Tea Tree lake or the latter named, Claisebrook stream / drain. While also between 1927
- 1954, as the central city - Perth region, was a prohibited area for indigenous / aboriginal Australians, many
aboriginal peoples, inhabited the area around Perth - City Farm, as this area was just outside the boundary, of
cities prohibited area for indigenous / aboriginal Australians.

Mulberry Farms:
Between the dates of 1870-1880, four thousand mulberry trees were planted within the Carisbrook area, this totalled a land mass of around 16
acres / 6 hectares of mulberry trees planted within the Carisbrook area. Mulberry trees were used in the late 19th century for a variety of reasons
including, for stock and breeding grounds for silk worms, so that they could produce silk thread, attain the mulberry berry for food, medicinal
purposes and for furniture, etc.
It is therefore feasible to assume that of this mass mulberry tree planting process, some of Perth - City Farm area / property was incorporated
within this early mulberry tree planting process. Indeed at present, the Perth - City Farm area / property, has an old established mulberry tree
planted within its outside garden area. In fact, as mulberry trees can grow to be over 170 years old,* it is also feasible to assume that this
mulberry tree within Perth - City Farm area / property, could have been planted within the early 1870s mulberry tree planting process, it would
thus make, this mulberry tree within Perth - City Farm, outside garden area, around 145 years old.

Vacant Land on Site:
The above picture displays the area surrounding City Farm in the early 1800s, in the top left of the
picture, is the formation of the West Australian Cricket ground (WACCA), while in the middle right
of the picture, where the swamp / lakes are, this is the Clasiebrook area. Consequently further to the
left of this swamp / lakes area, would have been where City Farm could have been located. As a result,
as can be seen by the above picture, much of the land near City Farm, in the early 1800s, was vacant
land, untouched by civilisation, at this time.
The map diagram on the left indicates the Perth - City Farm area, circa early 1900s, to the left of
Kirkstall Gardens / Terrace, is the area where Perth - City Farm now is situated. As can be seen from
this map diagram, there seems to be maybe 4 / 5 dwellings on this area, in the early 1900s. However it
is not indicated, weather these buildings / dwellings are either horse stables, workshops / sheds or
homes. Though the dwelling diagram in the bottom right hand corner, is marked as a workshop /shed.
Indeed in the early 1900s, there were quite a few workshops / sheds and horse stables within this area.
Thus it is possible that all these buildings / dwellings, to the left of Kirkstall Gardens are either
workshops / sheds or horse stables. As a result its possible to assume, that this area to the left of
Kirkstall Gardens was in essence semi vacant land, used for industrial or commercial purposes only.
Indeed from the early 1900s to the 1970s, all of the City Farm area, was zoned by the city of Perth as a
non-residential area, to be used for, either industrial or commercial purposes only.

5. 1901 – 1913
Agriculture Auctions / Machinery Sale Yard:
Between the dates of 1901-1913 the Perth - City Farm area was used as a facility to
store and sell used agriculture / farm equipment, by the propitiator F, A, Mansfield - pty
ltd. The agriculture / farm equipment, was predominantly sold by a non-reserved auction
process. Much of the agriculture / farm equipment auctioned, consisted of ploughs,
drills, scarifiers, paints, brushes and scrap iron / metal, etc.
It has to be noted however, that agriculture / farm machinery auctions were not the only
auctions that were conducted within this area, at the time. For in the early 1900s a Mr:
Chas Somnmers, auctioned some homes within the Perth - City Farm area, or at
Kirkstall terrace / East Perth. (As the area was known in the early - 1900s).

6. 1920 – 1925
Kingia Fibre Company:
The Kingia Fibre Company was situated on the now present Perth - City Farm area, between the
dates of 1920 -1925. The Kingia Fibre Company was owned and run by, Mr - D. Bedligton of
Collie, who leased the specific land of the West Australian Government. The Kingia Fibre
Company / factory made paper, corks, cricket balls, life buoys and alcohol, from the inside – stem
pith of the Kingia grass tree (Blackboy). While the long thin leaf like structures, at the top of a
Kingia Grass Tree, (Blackboy), were bound to the end of timber shafts, to make hardy brooms /
broom heads.
Unfortunately the Kingia Fibre Company, ceased to operate on Tuesday 22nd January 1923, when
a fire completely destroyed the factory premises. (Sadly the Fire brigade, did not seem to have
enough water pressure, to fight the fire effectively). The fire was presumably started, by fireworks
igniting some Kingia grass tree debris, on the outside of the factory.

7. 1930 - 1969
Vacuum / Mobil Oil Company:
Between the dates of 1930 – 1969 the Vacuum / Mobil oil Company was located on the now
present Perth - City Farm area. The Vacuum / Mobil oil Company, at these premises, was in the
business of distributing oil and fuel products, for Gargoyle Mobiloil and Plume Motor Spirits and
of suppling other well-known oil and fuel products, including a variety of oil lubricants and
greases, etc. The Vacuum / Mobil oil Company owned the land in question and in 1930 it
redeveloped the land at cost of more than $5,000. For as indicted in picture 1 on the left, it can be
seen that there was to be quite some redevelopment that was necessary, before Perth - City Farm
area could be used as an oil / petroleum storage depot and distribution yard. Indeed in picture 2 on
the left, it shows the property redevelopment process finished and in use as the Vacuum / Plume /
Mobil - oil / petroleum storage depot and distribution yard. However, due to a business downturn
in 1969/70, the Vacuum / Plume / Mobil - Oil Company, decided to sell its Kirkstall Terrace /
Gardens property to the West Australian Government.
Yet as can been seen in picture 2 on the left, in its prime, the Vacuum / Mobil oil Company had six
vehicle garage located at this property. This indicated in picture 2, is where the big building in the
background of the photo is located. This big building in the background of the photo, is where
Perth - City Farm administrative offices / big hall are situated at present. While in the centre of
picture 2, is the filling station for the petroleum / oil road tankers. This area can still be envisioned
within centre of City Farm, at present. Moreover according to Picture 2 on the left, at the rear of
the lubricant and case lot storage building, on the right hand side of picture 2, there was an
underground storage facility, which stored and pumped oil / fuel into the centre filling station, for
the petroleum / oil tankers.

8. 1900 – 1960s
(Overall) Low Income Area:
Unfortunately the area where Perth - City Farm is now located has not always had a good reputation. For within the
1900s and right up until the 1980s, the area had been recognised as an area where poverty and low income families
were situated. This probably came about, due to the fact that this specific area, was just on the outskirts of the
central city area and had many warehouses, workshops, horse stables and factories located within the area. In fact
many of the people / occupants living within the area probably worked in, many of the warehouses, factories, horse
stables and workshops etc., within the area. Thus many of the dwellings / homes within the area, at the time, may
have reflected a poverty projection to many. Indeed this sort of poverty projection of the Perth - City Farm area
may been envisioned by many right up to the mid-1980s, as indicted in the above photo of a derelict building in
Kirkstall Terrace / Gardens.
The fact that there had been some interesting characters living within the area in the early 1900s, which probably
contributed to an unsavoury reputation of the area. For instance, there was a character my name of Mahomet Ali,
who in the early 1900s, lived in a house in Kirkstall Terrace and who seemed to get on the wrong side of the law, at
times. Also, with the Perth - City Farm area having had 4 fires in an early 35 year period, (as indicated in the pics to
the right), this may not have helped to alleviate many concerns, that the area was not safe. However not all the
people living within the Perth - City Farm area were of an unsavoury character. For instance, there were 2 young
men who signed up to fight in WW1, one by the name of Frank Smyth, who in 1917, lived at 1 Kirkstall Gardens
and survived the war and another by the name of E, B, Lowe, who in 1916, lived at 2 Kirkstall Gardens and who
sadly died in this war. On the other hand some residents of the area seemed to be very lucky, such as in the case of
Mrs Loraine Clark, of 2 Kirkstall Terrace who in 1949, won $3,000 pounds in a West Australian charity / lottery.

Government (Westrail) Railway Yard:
The above pic, (area coloured red), is a diagram showing
the area of land that was purchased by West Australian
Government Railways / Westrail, in 1968 – 1970 of the
Vacuum / Mobil Oil Company.
In between the dates of 1968 – 1972, the West Australian
Government Railways, (Westrail), brought the area of
land on which Perth - City Farm now is situated, as
indicated in the picture on the right. (The land area on the
diagram, which is coloured in red). This area of land, as
indicted, was freehold land at the time and was owned by
Vacuum / Mobil Oil Company. The area of land was thus
subsequently purchased off the Vacuum / Mobil Oil
Company, in August 1968, by the West Australian
Government Railways, at a cost of $8,100.
However the land indicated, was not being used for any
real significant purposes, at the time. Though it was
occupied and used by a business called; Frank Manford
Pty Ltd, and its Forklift and Pallet Hiring Division. (The
Frank Manford Pty Ltd business, was within the logistics
and transport industries).
The West Australian Government Railways,
(Westrail), occupied and used the area of land, as
indicted in the picture on the left, up until 1990.
(This area of land which is coloured red, as
indicted on the left, is where Perth - City Farm is
now situated).
In fact this area of land, between the dates of 1970
– 1990, was predominantly used by West
Australian Government Railways, (Westrail), as a
lockable storage yard, for some of their Westrail
buses and for other West Australian Government
Railways logistics purposes, etc.

10. 1990 – 2014
1 - City Farm - Started on Area:
Perth City Farm was first conceived in 1990 by Joanne Tucker, Rosanne Scott,
and Clayton Chipper and at this early stage it was called ‘Children of the Trees,”
in reference to the project intending to instruct children / young adults on bush
rehabilitation processes. It was also in reference to the parent organization “Men
of the Trees” native plant nursery - youth oriented (MOTT) program goals, which
were to support the “Children of the Trees / Perth - City Farm project” and help
get it started.
As a result in 1994 Rosanne Scott, Chris Ferreira, Neal Bodel, Clayton Chipper
and Amanda Dent, started a youth project called: Plantery Action Group, (PAN),
with the idea to help children / youths improve their wellbeing and to help them
rehabilitate themselves, via a community gardening and permaculture processes,
engaged upon a heavily degraded industrial site.
Consequentially a heavily degraded industrial site had to be found and it
was, as the East Perth Redevelopment Authority (EPRA) offered (PAN), a
barren and degraded site near the Claisebrook train station. At the time,
the site was offered to (PAN) on a two year lease, as it was scheduled to
be demolished in 1996, to make way for additional car-parking space.
In the first few months of Perth - City Farm operating, in early 1995,
many of the buildings had to be renovated, as lot of them had asbestos
roofs, etc. While all the scrap metal had to be removed and all the
contaminants within the soil had to be cleared.(As indicted in above
picture). For example, all the oil, grease, lead and cadmium toxins within
the soil had to be removed, as they were all left from previous property
dwellers in the area.
10
11. 1990 – 2014
2 - City Farm - Established on Area:
As Perth - City Farm, right from the very beginning, has been a not-for-profit,
volunteer-based organisation, it has had to rely upon financial grants to initiate and
implement many of its programs / projects. In fact in 1995, Perth - City Farm got its
first government / federally funded project, the "Landcare and Environmental Action,
(LEAP), Program, which enabled City Farm to help young unemployed people
undertake training and work on local environmental and cultural projects. And in City
Farms case, this helped them to teach youths about bush rehabilitation, permaculture,
and plant nursery techniques and to participate in some specific cultural projects, etc.
In addition over the years, Perth - City Farm has facilitated and run many other
environmental, cultural and community orientated projects / events at its location. Such
as, community arts projects, ongoing multicultural markets, a 2011 Creative
Connections art exhibition, etc. While it has provided overseas and local artists,
musicians with the space to present exhibitions / workshops. Such as, the buskers
festival in may-2005, drumming workshops for the Sambanistas since 2000 and
performances by the Burundian peace choir. Also since 1998 City Farm facilitated and
run Australian government ‘Work-for-the-Dole' programs and has provided community
Service programs for the WA Justice Department and volunteering opportunities for
intellectually disabled individuals. While From 1995 onwards City Farm has continued
to offer permaculture and other assorted educational courses, onsite / offsite and via
Polytechnic West, Central Institute of Technology - Tafes.
Offsite, Perth - City Farm has been involved in a number of bush rehabilitation
projects around the State, including the 1990s - Pia -tree-planting project, which is
located on Wadjarri aboriginals people's lands, around 720km north-north-east of
Perth. “While onsite since 1994, approximately 4,000m3 of tree mulch, 1,500m3 of
lawn clippings and 20 tonnes of newspaper have gone into City Farm's gardens.
Whilst everything that can be recycled is reused in its offices and in arts projects.
“p.6. (Stange, 2003, p.6).
Indeed there are many projects Perth - City Farm has been involved with, which
have been featured in local, state and national newspapers, magazines. Including,
“Horticulture Australia, Spice, airline inflight magazine, The West Australian
magazine, and cited in the WA State Sustainability Strategy. As well as being aired
on local community, state and national television programs, including Landline,
Gardening Australia and the Garden Gurus’ Gardening WA program. City Farm was
also featured at the Western Australian Museum, as a model community for the
future.” p. 5(Men of the Trees, 2009,p.5). In fact for the last 20 years City Farm has
partnered with many Western Australia community, private and government
organisations, in its effort to improve the environment and wellbeing of children and
youth in the Perth community, including BHP Billiton, Mission Australia, Oxfam,
Polytechnic West, Central Institute of Technology, St Bartholomew’s House, UWA
and Volunteering WA, to name a few.

12. 1990 – 2014
3 - City Farm – Evolving on Area:
Of course, all of Perth - City Farm programs / projects over the years, have had
the enduring legacy of being guided in their development by Perth - City Farm
original (PAN) gaols and visions; Of helping children / youths improve their
wellbeing and instructing youths on how to rehabilitate themselves, via
community gardening and permaculture processes etc., as indicted in diagram 1.
However it has not been all plain sailing for City Farm, as it has had its
problems. For example as indicated diagram 2,in early January 2000, Perth -
City Farm was threatened with eviction from its present site, by the (EPRA), as
it wished to use the land for other development purposes.
In fact some may imply, as indicted in the above example, that city farms /
community gardens in general, may create tensions / concerns about green /
public spaces within an urban environment and that because of this, community
gardens / city farms like Perth - City Farm, may not be offered an assured space
/ place within a community. However as has been illustrated thought out this
display, if there is one thing that describes a place, it is that change is continual
and that resilience is the antidote for a place to be remembered in history. Hence
as Perth - City Farm overcame the above issue and many others, with a
communities support,etc. It has thus confirmed that all spaces / places are in
need of resilient, respectful and sustainability paths, such as Perth - City Farm.
As a result Perth - City Farm has proceeded into the future anew and some of City Farm past /
present success stories have been: “ The Pia -tree-planting project since 1990s, which is located
on Wadjarri people's lands: Delivering Horticultural Therapy since 1994 to clients of Mental
Health, Disability Services and the Ministry of Justice: Running Work for the Dole programs
from 1998, resulting in close to a thousand people learning and practicing sustainable
community principles: Since 2000 City farm has reached the “in Conversion” level of Organic
Certification for our gardens, nursery and poultry areas: Won the 2001 State Recycling Award
for a Community Group for demonstrating eleven years of recycling education and practice:
Opening the plant Nursery to the public since 2005: Established an Organic Growers Market
selling Certified Organic & Biodynamic products. The market has operated every Saturday
since 2005: Commencement of the School Kitchen Garden's project in 2007: Presenting annual
free community festivals from Perth - City Farm site: The area were Perth - City Farm is now
located, has now been renamed City Farm Place, by the Western Australian State Government.”
pp. 5-6 (Men of the Trees, 2009,pp.5-6).
As Perth - City Farm has evolved into the present, it has reinforced its relationship with its
parent organisation Men of the Trees and formed an ongoing partnership with the not-for-profit
organisation - Green World Revolution (GWR), who manage the everyday running operations
of Perth - City Farm. Indeed in recognition of Perth - City Farm commitment in enhancing the
future wellbeing of Perth’s environment and youth, since 2004, it has been granted a 40 year
land tenure at its present location, by the Western Australian - State Government.
