The possession of a gift is coupled with a duty to use it for the benefit of all. A thrush is given the gift of song—and so has a responsibility to greet the day with music. Salmon have the gift of travel, so they accept the duty of carrying food upriver. So when we ask
ourselves, what is our responsibility to the Earth, we are also asking, “What is our gift?”

Your gift helps nurture the soil and the
community in so many ways.
You’re helping us take steps to:
- Support individuals grieving loss
- Protect and nourish wildlife habitat
- Create space for children and adults to explore nature
- Reintroduce native species
- Provide fresh, healthy, and local food to anyone who is hungry
- Remove invasive species
- And much more...
Nature cannot be regarded
as something separate
from ourselves or as a
mere setting in which we
live. We are part of nature,
included in it and thus in
constant interaction with it.
