Social innovation that provokes the ability to preserve


Resilience, Perspective, and Vision
Awareness of interconnectivity
Enduring personal vision
Resilience, Perspective, and Vision. Wilderness responds to and recovers from stress and change, and it demands the same of its visitors. Like regrowth following a wildfire, new ideas often grow from difficult experiences. We re-examine where we are now and where we want to go. Change requires awareness of our interconnectivity and an enduring personal vision.
