We’re shining a light on forests in this second blog post in a three-part series all about our local PA habitats. Forests are the largest terrestrial ecosystems on the planet and thrive in many different climatic and topographic conditions.
"sun-warmed pines / the youth / of everything I love"
What might Shaver's Creek look like 100 years from now? And how might future generations look back through the history of these natural spaces?
The Creek Journals, also known as the Long Term Ecological Reflections Project (LTERP), is a 100-year project that aims to tell the story of Shaver's Creek through the interweaved reflections of artists, authors, and creatives alike.
The excerpt above comes from the poems of our most recent contributing author, Anne Burgevin, in her reflections of Site 2: Rudy Sawmill. Her poems at each of eight unique locations paint a picture - a snapshot of the diversity in life inhabiting our nature center in the summer of 2024.
Throughout the next century, Anne's words will be a tether to our world today - a window into what has changed and what, still, has persisted.
"migrating geese / our mother / calls us home"
