"Communing with the natural environment has been and remains a profound part of my personal experience living on this planet. The time that I spend surrounded by the earth’s mountains, trees, streams, plants and animals brings me stillness, calm and solitude. The respect and appreciation I feel has only deepened through the joy of sharing this remarkable connection with my children. Seeing how they flourish in nature strongly reinforces the meaningfulness of protecting our natural resources for future generations." - Drew Kitt
