This is such a beautiful essay. I know the solitude that came with the pandemic was difficult, but reading how it awakened the senses and brought you closer to such a diverse natural place--that you ended up fighting to save--is inspiring.
This is so inspiring, Sarah! I listened to the recorded audio on my headphones, & it was a delightful listen - very well done. I am confident you will continue to be a catalyst for positive change in the neighborhood - I'm so grateful that our paths have crossed :)
Thank you! I hope to be - yesterday I was thinking, “What if I started picking up trash, pulling up kudzu and other invasive plants, and…what if I started scattering native plant seeds around here? Wouldn’t some Rhexia be nice by the creek? What if I got some other neighbors involved and we just MADE IT our park!?”

Thank you! There's still a tire down there, but change has started. Small steps.
