Enjoy a short stroll with landscape architect Beth Poovey of LandDesign and Gwen Cook of Mecklenburg County Parks & Recreation, who led in the creation and design of this marvelous space. Explore ecology, design and history … and maybe even glimpse a blue heron along the waterway.
We spend more time with screens than people. We will be waking around and enjoy nature in the park. The nature walk from the Urban Ecology Club is about reconnecting with nature and seeing the world from one's own personal lens. Our goal is to have teens and kids connect with their environment through observation. We hope that teens realize that there are many creative forms of observation, and in order to do that we must disconnect with electronic devices. Most peers our age,do not pay attention to nature and can miss out on seeing all the good things that there is in the world. Come join us in Sugar House park, phone-less!
See you there!
Asma, Hibba, and Fatima
