"A holobiont concept goes like this: Physiologically, a unit known as an organism is not philosophically separable from the many other organisms that live on and within it—the parasites, the mutualists, the bacteria, the fungi, the viruses, and other critters that make it up." Maria Pinto, Hale Education Board Member, mycophile, and writer, gave an insightful and inspiring speech at last year's Fall Equinox Event and now you can enjoy a few insights from her talk on our blog. As we move closer to the end of our campaign for Kids, Conservation, and Community, Maria's words are an important reminder of how we are all connected to the natural world and each other. https://lnkd.in/eZbD8R-6 #ProtectHale #KidsConservationCommunity #Conservation #ConservationMatters

Countless children learn and explore on Hale’s 1,250 acres of forests, ponds, and meadows. But if we don’t #ProtectHale, that space is at risk of being developed. Ensure that #HaleBuildsCommunity in nature for generations to come. Hayley Barner https://lnkd.in/ep98tZdh

One of last year's teen campers gave an insightful answer as to why it's important to protect nature. She emphasized the importance of preserving local ecosystems and the impact of being able to simply "exist in these spaces."
