Review for Morning Earth, Forestlake, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

John Caddy has been working toward this venture for decades, shaping his poetic skills, thinking about the environment, evaluating nature-friendly ways of appreciating and behaving toward the world, and in recent years, polishing his photographic sense. Morning Earth is a daily wake-up call, watchfully presenting science and lore, alerting us to beauty, making connections, developing wisdom, creating community. In short, it epitomizes the role of art in the world.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

daily reading, finding inspiration and information for my own work as a poet

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I'd like to see hard copy publication of the material

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

a daily sense of awakened perception of both the wide and small aspects of the natural world--and that it is aimed at awareness and enjoyment, not grab-the-lapels activismn

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

smart and dedicated

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

enable it (through workshops and publicity) to stimulate the creation of other ventures that might emulate its approach, bringing important information and insights to the public, not just hard-core environmentalists

Ways to make it better...

if more detailed notes on the locations, dates, etc. were provided along with the photos

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

money, of course

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

Role:  General Member of the Public & donated money, read daily, sent poetry, sent letters.
