Now this forest,my home,is gone. A casualty to the changes brought on our world by greedy, selfish would-be tyrants. I find solace knowing it helps keep people safe in town. I hope my pictures and words help this place live on. It is and always has been my home, and will be a part of me forever. 4/4

This patch of forest and those nearby being cleared are where I gained my appreciation and connection to nature, in particular with birds. I knew many of these birds on an individual level through differences in appearance and calls. They'd even bring their babies to hang out with my mom and I. 3/4

I think often of this patch of forest for many reasons. I dream of it weekly. It was my home. It's where I walked my dogs nearly every day. Both of them spent time on their last days on these trails. They're buried not far away so they can be where they loved to run forever. 2/4

My favourite little bird! There's a couple around my place in the city right now who are singing charmingly flat compared to the norm.

Thanks Ashley!
