Last week
Had an opportunity to volunteer with thanks to at the North Rim. I had never been up there, so when it came through I instantly jumped on it. I didn’t exactly know what I was getting myself into, but I was excited to get physical and put in nature.
It turned out to be an amazing trip. Not only because of the work we did, but because how great a reset it was too. We camped out, no service, just sleeping bags, tents, nature, and good company.
Each day we worked hard helping with erosion control. This comes after the Dragon Bravo wildfire from last year. It was interesting to see forests burnt down, but life starting to come back. I learned a lot from the people at Grand Canyon Trust as well as some reps from the National Forest Foundation and others. Not only was it good work, but it taught me a lot about the land and about the people who inhabited it before us.
A beautiful experience and much needed while living in this concrete jungle. I had so many photo it was hard to combine all that I wanted to share on here, but I did what I could.
Make the time to get involved, or at the very least go back into nature and disconnect for a bit. It’s worth it and no doctor or health specialist can do what that does for us.
