Newsletter 2021 June 16

We’ve been busy the first month of our 2021 season. The topics in this newsletter are a survey, some pictures, and the work of a couple of our longer term people.

Survey: The survey is designed to help us steer the program to be as relevant as possible to the autistic community. All questions are optional, and I would love your input even if you only answer one of the questions. https://forms.gle/8iZQFuNxKAU1bmyYA

Path to peace: The path shown below was made by Mike, who drove here from New Hampshire and helped out a lot with inspired and meticulous projects like this one. He says “I came looking for peace, reflection and to reconnect with nature, and I found that. I look forward to returning.” Thanks for your supportive presence and contributions, Mike! I’ll get a picture of him next time.

Autistic nature community: Erin, one of the autistic folks who spent time here last summer is working on a project called Autistic Nature, which is going to be a resource for autistic people to share our love for anything and everything nature, and also to advocate for inclusion in nature. Here is her invitation: “We are working on launching a website which will have an online forum, resources, and blog posts. We need help from other autistic people who are interested in developing this community. If you’re interested or would like more information, please email hello@autisticnature.com.”

Other goings on are shown below – hope this makes you want to come too!

In service,

Star Ford, Program Manager
