I joined a community clean-up group thinking it would connect me to urban nature but mostly we just pick up trash and complain about how gross everything is.

More people experience this than they realize.

Service that focuses on what is wrong can deepen our sense of separation from what remains beautiful.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Urban nature — finding it in cities?”

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
