THEMES

  • What does our relationship to nature say about how we value one another—and what responsibility does an individual have to act on what they believe? Creating Jardincito Park.

  • Jens Jensen believed that nature and people should be free to lead their own lives. He spent his own life turning that belief into places, movements and public lands. What might his example ask of us today?

  • Nature isn't just poetic, our brains need nature
