Saturday, June 28, 2014. My Bigger Vision, Part One. Austin Wright studies tracks in the mud along the Cherry Valley Creek. This is hard for me to write, but it's important that I spell it out.

Rick's Journal: My Bigger Vision, Part Two. My Ground Rules for Change.
http://hawkcircleblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-bigger-vision-part-two-my-ground.html

The summary from my last post, in a nutshell, is the estimation that we need about 40,000 new wilderness instructors to awaken millions of people to the power of nature and reach a critical mass of about 30 million people. It's ten percent of the population of the US, and it is the minimum number for creating a culture that can change our ways towards a future that is life affirming and positive. So, what's the first step?

Thursday, July 3, 2014. I Answer Two Excellent Questions About Training 40,000 New Nature Educators. A recent class trip retreat at Hawk Circle. Photo by Jenny Shannon Harkins.
