Guthrie Green, a new 2.7-acre urban garden and performance
venue in Tulsa has received this year's Henry Bellmon Award
for Sustainability, presented by Sustainable Tulsa and the Rotary
Club of Southside Tulsa. The George Kaiser Family Foundation
and the city of Tulsa spearheaded the $8 million park project,
part of a $113.5 million public-private investment for downtown
districts. Sustainable elements include geothermal wells, gardens
with native plants and trees, bioretention swales, solar panels on
the 11,200-square-foot pavilion and LED lighting. The project
garnered a $2.5 million ARRA Energy Demand Reduction Grant,
and a $125,000 Brownfield Development Grant. Guthrie Green is
named in honor of Oklahoma native son Woody Guthrie (1912–
1967), singer, songwriter and activist.
