Kirtland's Warbler, Eggert's Sunflower, Chub

Exhibit Label: During a time when there was so much death and strife in the world, it seemed important to showcase success stories in environmental regeneration. These species have been brought back from the brink of extinction because human beings worked to understand why they were becoming extinct, found governmental/organizational solutions to the problems with their habitats, and banded together to create sustainable practices to allow the species to thrive again. Rather than giving in to the despair of COVID, it was a great exercise to focus on success stories where people had worked together in order to help different species continue to exist and thrive. The research and creative process behind my work engaged my mind and spirit in a process that was about life, about cooperation, and about regeneration. --Label design by exhibit curator Nancy DeJoy.
