                      Thursday, December 27, 2012

  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, today I honor the contributions 
of Jeannine Campau Palms.
  Ms. Palms has dedicated her life to preserving a safe and clean 
environment for future generations and working towards justice for all 
people. Among her many accomplishments, the creation of the Buhr Park 
Children's Wet Meadow is particularly noteworthy. The Buhr Park 
Children's Wet Meadow is a group of wet meadow ecosystems in Buhr Park, 
Ann Arbor, Michigan. The meadows preserve habitat for local plants and 
wildlife, filter stormwater runoff, and serve as an educational site 
for both children and adults.
  The Buhr Park Children's Wet Meadow is one example of Ms. Palms' 
life's work. A life committed to creating sustainable communities, 
promoting social justice, and preserving our nation's natural 
resources.
