This is SUCH A COOL PROJECT omg. I'm working through your papers and reports now and sharing with my team over at www.rethinkinglawns.com
I say with no judgement as someone with four unpublished papers in various states: do you anticipate any more papers coming out from this project?

*incidentally, a nazi. Kept regular correspondence with members of the nazi party and considered racial purity a key part of his landscape philosophy.

![Finally, to take up the title of Jeffrey Herff’s book “Reactionary Modernism”,
Jensen makes it very clear in his publications that his own ideas about regional
garden design and the “prairie spirit” need to be classified as belonging to “reac-
tionary modernism”, at least in their tendency. That racism was an important
motive in his plea for native plants is also shown by his article “Die ‘Lichtung’”
(The ‘Clearing’) published in the magazine “Die Gartenkunst” in 1937:
The gardens that I created myself shall [. . .] be in harmony with their landscape environ-
ment and the racial characteristics of its inhabitants. They shall express the spirit of
America and therefore shall be free of foreign character as far as possible [. . .] The Latin
and the Oriental crept and creeps more and more over our land, coming from the South,
which is settled by Latin people, and also from other centers of mixed masses of
immigrants. The Germanic character of our race, of our cities and settlements was
overgrown by foreign character. Latin spirit has spoiled a lot and still spoils things every
day (Jensen 1937: 177).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wameikp6ip7fk2rxcx67peot/bafkreifbn6oozc3a4aa67q53zesijatbh6sq2sjxbq36e6avcwt3kzpdja@jpeg)

I have no interest at all in filming 24/7 to catch these guys, but also, people keep putting honeybee hives in natural areas, and we dont have a strong enough literature to prove how damaging that is for wild bees.
It's going to be MEGA contentious if I can collect enough documentation to publish.
