"Be safe. Be Present. Speak your Truth."
Over a year ago, Human Nature Expeditions was introduced to Trees, Water & People, a non-profit organization based in Fort Collins, CO. Rayna and I instantly connected with Daniela from TWP, and we were energized by the common mission and values that our two organizations shared. While we stayed in touch, looking for ways to support each other and deepening the relationship between Human Nature and TWP, Covid hit and our opportunities for collaboration in the field diminished.
A Great Connection
During the summers of 2018 & 2019, I was fortunate enough to attend a school trip to the Pine Ridge reservation in southwest South Dakota. It was a partnership between my school and the lovely people of Trees, Water, and People. Myself and everyone else in attendance were prepared to plant some trees. I signed up for the trip originally because I thought it would be fun, a good way to make some stronger connections with people at my school, and a great opportunity to learn. So, after about a seven hour drive that day, half of it sitting in our van filled with groceries for the week, we finally arrived.
