      <image:caption>A Hand-Planted Forest in the Midwestern Desert, 2015. . Once the largest hand-planted forest in the world, the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest was imagined by botanist Charles Bessey over a century ago in 1887. His vision for planting a forest in the Sandhills of Nebraska was regarded an impossible fantasy by many, including politicians who could not fathom a forest surviving in the Sandhills and stockmen who protested the forest reserves and wanted to privatize federal lands. Notwithstanding, Bessey was determined and gained gradual support for his plan. Supplied with a small batch of seedlings from the Federal Division of Forestry and privately donated land, the trees were surviving after a decade of trial and error. Gaining more federal support and planting assistance by the CCC and residents of the tiny town of Halsey, 100,000 seedlings were planted and the forest began to thrive. Today, the Charles E. Bessey Tree Nursery is the oldest federal seedling nursery in the U.S. and a seed bank for Engelmann spruce, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and lodgepole pine. The tree nursery produces 1.5 million seedlings each year. A portion of those replace trees lost to forest fires, insects, and storms in five states. Bessey Ranger District.

      <image:caption>The Great Protector, 2016. Quiet marshes around the southern edge of Lake Michigan are the adaptable legacy left by the continental glacier that receded over 10,000 years ago. Prairie, savannas of oak, and groves of pine trees outline the edges of the Great Marsh, sheltering the expansive wetlands that create drainage during storms. The dunes and its bogs, fens, and shrub swamps provide a buffer between the lake and the land, protecting inland ecosystems from flooding and high winds. Marram and American beach grass take root in the sand, stabilizing dunes and reducing beach erosion. There is profound wisdom in the communities that create the living tapestry of our natural world. The dunes are more than drifts of sand—they belong to a layered, living system that works together to protect both smaller and larger living systems. These are the great protectors that invite me to hope as I deeply contemplate the interwoven natural dynamics that balance vulnerability with resilience in a complicated plexus of organisms.

      <image:caption>Where the Tallgrass Still Grows, 2020. Grasslands are the most endangered ecosystem globally. Once 170 million acres vast, less than 4% of tallgrass prairie remains in North America since colonial settlement. One of the largest areas of tallgrass prairie was inadvertently preserved due to the rocky terrain of the Flint Hills region in Kansas which hindered early colonial farming. This is highlighted in the drawing Where the Tallgrass Prairie Still Grows through the depiction of a controlled burn that exposes an expansive landscape of limestone outcrops. More than the sum of their grasses, prairies improve water quality, restore soil health, and provide critical habitat for prairie chickens and pollinators. The open vistas of the Great Plains may appear to be austere, but grassland biomes are intricate ecosystems that are full of life. Prairies support abundant plant diversity, including less visible vegetation like bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) that are indicators of a healthy ecosystem. While vulnerable to impacts such as strip mining, a growing number of studies show the environmental remediation potential when bryophytes are revegetated. In the drawing, a true moss in the Pottiaceae family is shown in magnified view, nestled beneath bowing grasses to the right of an evening primrose, radiating a magical glow.

      <image:caption>The Sway of Nature, Law, and Sprawl, 2016. Before 2017, vehicles crossed between Stillwater, Minnesota and Houlton, Wisconsin via a historic lift bridge. The bridge arched over St. Croix River, a federally-protected wild and scenic river that defines part of the states’ border. In 2007, a proposal was submitted to build a new bridge across the river and convert the historic bridge into a pedestrian walkway. The National Park System is legally required to defend wild and scenic rivers against environmental impact to the shoreline and watershed. In Wisconsin, Washington County Historical Society was responsible for the historic preservation of the lift bridge. Minnesota Department of Transportation’s objective was safe public infrastructure. Some residents supported the new bridge while others were concerned about increasing urban sprawl. Ultimately, the historic bridge became a footbridge and a four-lane highway bridge was built. An area resident told me that eagles nested along the river bank and were displaced by construction. The Sway of Nature, Law, and Sprawl depicts an eagle emerging from ripples in the river with swirls above the wings indicating bridge impact. This complicated fight drew to a close a decade later when the new bridge was completed, but urgency to protect the St. Croix River began in 1966 and pre-dates the Wild &amp; Scenic Rivers Act of 1968.

      <image:caption>The Miracle of Mushrooms &amp; Bryophytes, 2020. The grandeur of this recessed cave opens into a natural theater. Black Hand Sandstone cliffs are speckled with quartz and pebbles. Flecks of moss in bright shades of green spread across the rock walls of Ash Cave with sprigs of Lobed Spleenwort here and there. The lower walls are layered in Scented Liverwort that hold mathematical mysteries within the of details of their thalli. A graceful duo of resplendent Eastern Hemlocks are illuminated in sunlight and mist. The waterfall awakens a multiplicity of tiny worlds within its lush environs. Christmas Ferns, evergreen, sprawl from the trails. Turkey Tail mushrooms grow on a decaying log near a small cluster of Yellow Chanterelles, which grow out of the soil in summer and early fall—both of which enjoy the company of Red Oak and Sugar Maple trees. I never found the Appalachian Filmy Fern that has rarely been found growing near seeps in the darkest crevices of the walls. It was not until 2026 that I visited Ash Cave. While some of what is described is not shown, essential details are expressed in this drawing, such as the drapes of Prickley Beard and Broom Mossesin microscale, perhaps dreaming together about the animated life force of their dancing sporophytes.

      <image:caption>Unlike the Sky, the Land Has Borders, 2015. Everything in the sky is part of the water. The lake is a mirror of endless sky, but unlike the sky the land has borders. In Minnesota, we call it “the Boundary Waters,” otherwise known as Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA or BWCAW). BWCA contains one million acres of protected land and water in Minnesota along the Canadian border. Nearly half a million of its acres are water. The sky and the water become each other and are separated only by the horizon of Canada’s boreal forest. The BWCA sits within a 3.9-million-acre area of Superior National Forest’s northernmost woods. Thousands of lakes, as if splattered, make mirrors across the land. Ten thousand fragments splinter from its mother, Lake Superior. She is one of five of the Great Lakes, the largest interconnected freshwater system of lakes in the world. Movements and laws strive to protect wilderness, only because it continues to be destroyed. Many wilderness areas were once inhabited. The BWCA is the homeland of the Anishinaabe people. Wilderness is defined as uncultivated, uninhabited, and free of significant human impact, but wilderness is a cultural concept. If we are not of nature, then we must be separate from it.
