Because of choosing redstone forest as my penology cite I got a unique opportunity to observe a natural space that is right in the middle of a busy campus. I would argue that this cite was a perfect example of how nature and culture are intertwined as redstone pines is a natural space that was created by and designed for people to spend time in. Every person on campus that I have talked to has been in or at least knows where redstone pines is and most of them have stories to tell about the area. I personally met one of my best friends in UVM at redstone pines. I’m not sure that I feel like I am a part of my penology cite as it was designed by someone rather than being a natural forest but I do feel a connection to the area because of the experiences I have had there with my friends.
