30 by 30 - preserving our lands and waters

 

Happy Birthday to us. On March 14, 1903 – 118 years ago today – President Theodore Roosevelt founded the National Wildlife Refuge System. Let’s celebrate!

Some countries, and your too, the United States of America, is looking to save our lands and waters. This is needed, it's a blessing if ever there was one and it's a relief. We have to do this. I hope for more, like 40 by 40 or 50 by 50. I hope that we can protect and preserve and hope that we all understand what is at stake here. It means some are recognizing the need to do this and many countries throughout the world are.
I'd like to be faithful here to documenting who is doing this and where. Once i figure out this blog thing better. In the meantime, here's a some information for those in New Jersey

for information on preserving New Jersey’s land and natural resources, visit the New Jersey Conservation Foundation website at www.njconservation.org or

contact me at info@njconservation.org.


And in the meantime, share your love for the USFWS Refuge system and our National Parks. Honor the land and the indigenous folks that were here before your relatives. But honor too your place on the land and water. Respect the earth. She's our home. We might have travelled far to get where we are. Maybe our relatives were brought here against their will or maybe we were unwelcomed down the line. But today, we've got to recognize all of our rights, our belonging to the earth, and share our respect for all of wildlife and each other. Wishing all peace and thanks for the opportunity to wildly share both creative work and conservation concerns.
