After working for ten years in China, Betsy is proud to be a part of the design team for the Olympic Forest Park project and on
October 27, 2005, the project was ceremoniously approved by the mayor of Beijing. This park,
as part of the 2008 Olympics will become a model for a sustainable city and as a 21st century solution for water management.
It will clean the water to a level suitable for significant human contact and will become the ecological economic model
for parks of the future as well as places of recreational activity.
As a biological water treatment system, species conservation project and an environmental education center,
it will be an integrated demonstration project of amazing caliber. The wetlands will serve to polish the water from the
biological system and provide habitat for wild species and endangered species, exhibition gardens of flora and fauna, and
will be the extended environment of the conservation park. Parks are the perfect places to preserve biological systems
and give to cities bio-dynamic places that support diversity of plant and wild life. It will place Beijing as a world
leader of urban sustainability and green capitalism.
The water treatment system and circulation of the water was created by Betsy Damon, Keepers of the Waters,
and Margo Young Cantwell, CEO of Environmental Design and Management, Halifax, CA.
The recycling of waste water through a biological system called Solar Aquatics was first created by John Todd.
