Here is my home!
I live in a forested area with 38 other full-time students who live in trailers. We have travelers that stay in the forest and use our facilities while also joining us for potlucks twice a week. The people here are skilled, smart, and enthusiastic about living in a low-impact sustainable community. I am the manager here and I act as a voice between the University and the housing for these students. My objective is to prevent this community from falling victim to the school's agenda to plow out this land for apartment buildings and the completion of something called the Long Range Development Plan. It plans to cut down 120 acres of trees in the Santa Cruz Mountains to further expand UC Santa Cruz. This is small community is one of the catalysts to reshape the citzens' ideas about sustainability and community. WE WILL NOT SUBMIT. AND MY GNOMES WILL HELP!
^ *grin* these are my gnomes... or some of them anyway. They act as symbols of humans for the bugs and furry things that are near my trailer. In case they do not know what species I am, I have nature-loving humanoids around my trailer.
This is a root which I transformed into a beautiful piece of color and patterns. I haven't finished it yet, but I plan to very soon! I want to host an art gallery in the forest behind the trailer park. There are lots of works of art that appear magically among the trees when I'm in the surrounding wooded areas. I want others to experience that. And I want that to be a symbol of our sustainability and pride in our community!
And here's me with some of my hooooops:
I was able to get some pictures despite my camera blinking on and off every 5 seconds to 4 minutes. I was lucky to get these photos in the time I had. How is everyone's Spring?
