This is a drawing from a student inspired by how they connected to nature during a fieldtrip to test the water at the Detroit River, and Bloody Run Creek this school year. Enjoy!

I really like your art, Ziggy! It’s important that we keep the local wildlife in mind when we go to places such as these. Great work!
I appreciate the contrast you see and share, Ziggy. Maybe we can co-exist, even if we are not used to seeing fences in the same frame as nature.
