    Every year my county's soil and water conservation group offers spring tree sales. This year I added 140 white pines, colorado blue spruce and norway spruce to my little oasis right smack in the middle of a corn / bean field. Every little bit helps. When I see eagles, red tailed hawks, coyotes, songbirds, hummingbirds, possums, raccoons, snakes, owls, deer enjoying this safe spot it feels like a worthy way to spend a weekend. This month's healthcare ecochallenge has really helped me prioritize and see the value of small, intentional things that help the planet. I've also found it personally helps me center and feel more a collaborative partner to the planet and ecosystem that sustains me.
