Since I started planning this sabbatical a few years ago camping around New England during peak leaf season has remained one of my top priorities. It truly has not disappointed. However I’m not so sold on lobster rolls. They were surprisingly
🍎 Washington state is the largest producer of apples in the country. It was overwhelming observing where over 10 billion apples are handpicked by farm workers each year.

Tree Week Day Five! The last day is dedicated to nurse logs. As if I needed another reason to think trees are remarkable, I learned that trees find a way to help each other postmortem. Nitrogen-rich dark soil called ‘humus’ forms from th
Tree Week Day Four! As a lifelong East Coaster wildfires have existed in my mind as a theoretical issue — someone else’s backyard. When your home is on wheels wherever you wake up that day is now your backyard. Confronting the widesprea

Environmentalist Pattie Gonia for The Washington Post. @pattiegonia has been a vocal advocate against the Pride bans issued by the National Parks Service. She premiered her music video “Won’t Give Up” shot on top of melting glac
For years, I heard about the environmental harm of growing nuts. Witnessing flood irrigation in the desert made me reckon with just how inefficient this method of food production truly is. As a dust tornado swirled through a neighboring field it was
Wanderer’s Window ✨ Spent May in Colorado. Was floored to watch how the landscape changed from snowy mountains to red rock desert in a matter of a few hours. Desert pix coming soon!
Hello from the road! Six months down, six to go. I've been reflecting on how my visual voice, connection to nature, curiosity about agriculture, and appreciation for art therapy has grown the past few months. I know how cliche this is, but I feel l
Can artificial intelligence unlock the key to the perfect tomato? 🍅 While the world wonders whether artificial intelligence will bring upon the end of the world, researchers in Arizona are using AI to improve the quality of tomatoes. Sensors thro
