Letter from
Yes, the world looks different than it used to…. and it will continue to change
Whether it was 9/11, the great recession, or world war… people were in the street screaming “THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT IS OVER”. True enough, the world as we know it has been altered, but we are still here. It’s not possible to stay the same, too much has changed – but change should be expected. Adaptability and flexibility are required to weather what is ahead, but we can look to the past to know we will get through this. The world is going to look different… and nature is necessary Whether its your local city, state, or national park, open space is a salve for the soul. We are inundated with data, images, sounds, opinions, and rhetoric that can feel so overwhelming. It becomes difficult to quiet the mind and stay focused. These open spaces present an opportunity to unplug, reconnect with loved ones, and the outdoors. Take this time to disconnect, take a walk, quiet the chaos, and live in the moment that you have today. It’s proven to aid anxiety, reduce stress, create peace, and relax you – now more than ever that is essential. Parks are not just “nice to have”, but are actually required for our physical and emotional health.
the Director
The world is going to look different… and we are resilient
One beautiful thing about humans is our resilience. Our capacity to recover from tough times has a proven track record. Advances in technology have and will set us up for continued success. Our minds are more brilliant than ever, our capabilities limitless, and the word “impossible” can be thrown out the window. Our ability to work together diligently for the greater good is what sustains us and propels us forward. Together we will face it, embrace it, and figure it out. We are excited to share this process with you! Sincerely - Jennifer Wills, CPRE Director of Parks, Recreation, Golf & Urban Forestry
