“The Coolest Spot in Paradise.” Space savers standing by in Dorchester. #boston #snow #streetscape

I’m launching a new Substack newsletter, The Nature We Make, https://substack.tnwm.net . It's grown out of many years studying and writing about urban nature, which has convinced me that we need spaces to encourage connection to the natural world, even within the built environment.

Thank you to @NepRWA for hosting me as speaker at its annual meeting tonight! It was truly energizing to meet so many people working on #ecosystem health and #ClimateResilience in this region.

Spotted on this beautiful day in Boston Common: the annual #Boston #fishweir project, a reminder that this land was once tidelands and stewarded for its natural resources.
