And yet, Farm & Wilderness is one of the things that gives me hope i
I sent my children to Farm & Wilderness because I wanted them to experience the pleasures and joys I found there – the incomparable taste of a just-harvested carrot, the excitement of standing on top of a mountain, the pleasure of diving into a lake, the close friendships developed in a cabin or on a trip.
But I also wanted them to thrive in a community of shared values, with a long history of standing up for peace, civil rights, and the environment, where they too would learn to speak up and act on their beliefs.
And that’s why Farm & Wilderness gives me hope. As a former staff member, those values and lessons ground my life and work. As a parent, I see them in my children and their friends, who are determined to shape a future they can believe in. As a Trustee, I am honored to steward F&W as we continue to inspire the generations of young people who will be our leaders, long into that future.
In the last few months, I’ve been reminded repeatedly of the importance of community in challenging times. I am so grateful to share and support the Farm & Wilderness community with you.
In peace,
