Wild Wisdom:

1. Be a Keen Observer: Take time to immerse yourself in nature. Whether you’re walking through a park or sitting by the beach, observe the small details – the leaves, the patterns of wildlife, the changes in the environment. Observation is the key to connecting with and protecting our world.
2. Reduce Your Plastic Footprint: Plastic waste is one of the biggest threats to the ocean. Reduce single-use plastics by bringing reusable bags and containers wherever you go, and be mindful of litter disposal to prevent it from ending up in waterways.
3. Support Sustainable Transport: Consider switching to electric vehicles or using public transportation to reduce your carbon footprint. Small changes in how we travel can have a large impact on reducing pollution and protecting ecosystems.

This week on the Wild Developments podcast, we talk to Jeff and Dot from Loveland Presbyterian Church’s Community Garden about how they manage their plots, give back to the community, and what keeps them inspired season after season.

Wild Wisdom:

1. Gardening is a lifelong learning journey – Each season brings new lessons, from dealing with unpredictable weather to learning about pest control.
2. Grow what you love – Focus on planting vegetables your family will enjoy and use.
3. Build community – A garden thrives with collaboration, whether it’s sharing seeds or learning new techniques.

This week, I’m gearing up for my artist-in-residence experience at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! I'll be spending November immersed in the breathtaking beauty of the Smokies, capturing the landscape through photography, watercolor, and nature journaling. It’s going to be a transformative month, and I can’t wait to share the journey with you all! Keep an eye out for updates on the podcast and social media for behind-the-scenes looks at my adventure.

Wild Wisdom:

1. Start Your Own Nature Journal
   Take a notebook outside and start small—trace a leaf or sketch what you see. It’s all about observing nature and being present in the moment.
2. Take Time to Slow Down
   Step away from the hustle and spend time in nature. Whether it’s your backyard or a local park, let yourself fully absorb the beauty around you.
3. Share Your Nature Story
   Document your experience in a creative way, whether through photography, art, or writing. Sharing these moments can inspire others to connect with nature too.

Let’s get outside and see what develops! 🌿✨
