The flora team volunteered as part of the into the streets program. I’ll admit, at first, I thought the program to be unfulfilling– cleaning the woods?? After picking up trash, roping down grape vine, and helping move logs around I realized this was not the instant moral gratification I wanted, but a subtle part of promoting nature. The gift of an idealic nature I received when I was young that made me who I am today: a human being in touch with the natural world. With an increasing indoor society, especially for the younger generations, I think by doing this I helped made the understated inspiration of nature more possible, visible for some kid, and that’s all that matters.
