Thank you so much for sharing this. I really resonate with what you've said here. I am a jewelry artist directly inspired by my time outdoors and i'm also feeling the juxtaposition of fear and holding on to hope. Keep going! Thank you for what you do.

No apologies necessary. There’s solemn and joyful solidarity between the two of us as I will also be staying and fighting in NC too, so know that you’re not alone in the grassroot effort!

Thank you for sharing this! And I agree, politics are everywhere, even in the outdoors, and we have to talk about it if we want to protect these beautiful lands and waters... I will be starting my career as a sea kayak guide next summer, and I find your work very inspiring :) I always enjoy reading your Sunday newsletter.
