Summer

I fully support the pace of summer. It is the time to slow down, eat outside, and read books. It is the season to explore with no hurry. Summer is an important antidote to our fast paced and overly connected lives. 

I am thinking a lot about people and parks, and especially about this article: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/07/12/opinion/sunday/diversify-our-national-parks.html?referrer=. There is more to this story and I'm thinking about writing an article about it. 

I'm also working on the film Here and Now about partnerships between Native Americans and land conservation organizations. https://vimeo.com/134795717

And I'm reading about Theodore Roosevelt and his conservation legacy. It's so interesting to understand the building blocks of today's conservation movement. Especially since some of it needs to change and evolve. 

Okay, back to summer...
