Culture and Nature

Here, culture and nature definitely intertwine in many ways.  Most symbolically, perhaps, is that my phenology site is growing upon a land mass that was built by man for industrial purposes.  But, nature has reclaimed it as its own and has made it even better.  Culture connects to nature every day here.  Those enjoying the waterfront or walking their dog use this area to connect more closely to the land because of this little patch of woods.  Finally, the culture of the area shows what beauty it can make through an impromptu art gallery.  There was a dumping of large rocks here at one point and these large flat rocks have become a hub for stunning graffiti art.
