Remember Why You Do This

Remember Why You Do This

I had a moment of insight while walking a trail today and couldn’t help but share it. Too often we parks and conservation leaders get lost in the job and the day-to-day grind that we forget why we do what we do (at least I do, anyway). In a moment of literally seeing the forest for the trees, I sat along the trail and recorded this as a way to remind myself - and hopefully you, too - not to forget why we do this work. We’re leaving a legacy, writing our signatures on the landscape of our communities. Don’t forget that. 

This short episode is a bit different from usual but hopefully it helps re-energize you a bit. It did for me. 

Enjoy. And thank you for what you do for parks and conservation!
