I enjoy sharing an inspirational image; one of beauty and strength. This brief clip was captured during a paddling excursion to River Rise on a warm summer morning. Watching it evokes the essence of summer, which is particularly inspiring after our grey, cool, and wet winter.
This enchanting wilderness is not only a source of inspiration but also is ours to safeguard, cherish, respect, and honor. We coexist in this stunning environment with herons, otters, beavers, whirligigs, ibises, fish, turtles, and many more. This place serves as a profound connection to nature, weaving us into the living tapestry of life to which we are intricately linked.
This river symbolizes not only itself but also all rivers, the diverse wildlife, and every living being within our untamed environments. Our mission is to impart knowledge, emphasizing the vital need to safeguard our river and aquifer from excessive pumping and nutrient contamination. Join us in preserving this river and the interconnected water bodies linked by our aquifer.
