Connect
“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”
John Muir from My First Summer in the Sierra
The more we spend time in nature, the more we will find that everything is connected and cultivating an understanding of this connection helps us find our place in this world. Tyler invites you to explore the thriving communities whether in the woods, at our Butterfly House and Pollinator Garden or in kinship fostered by our staff and volunteers. Find out who came to the rescue as we said goodbye to our dear friend the Cedar of Lebanon. Whether through time or through travel, we found food traditions from all over the world and made it our own. A diverse view begets a deeper understanding of how similar we truly are.
