“I want to create a connection from the forest to us and back again.”

I want to create connections between Satologue grounds and the surrounding environment. Once we get the water flowing through here again, it will clear out the built up mud and improve the biotope water quality. With the right kind of access, various organisms can enter and become part of our ecosystem. Water is the key here. It’s like a train track, creating routes that go both ways. Water falls from the sky, moves through rivers, then returns to the sky. As I work on the garden, I think about how it’d be great to make these natural connections visible for visitors to enjoy, and how these small interactions link together and build up to create positive cycles. And having young people who moved to this area running a garden like this, that just makes it more worthwhile.
