Greetings, Dr. Priebe. I just subscribed and will be taking a closer look to your Substack "Parks ..." writers portal. I'll be looking at your posts thru the lens of an environmental economist concerned - in a warming world faced with increased climatic stress - about the physical and financial resilience and sustainability of parks (and protected) areas as critical reservoirs of biological diversity while serving their concurrent essential roles as recreational venues, the earth's lungs - when a tree standing is worth more than a tree cut - and watersheds, except for marine parks of course.
I hope we can communicate further on the topic. In the meantime take a look at some short personal essays of mine - "Pricing the Priceless," and "Save our Salamanders," and "Reverence for Life" posted on my Substack writers portal "AFTERTHOUGHTS" at philchurch.substack.com. Parks are implicit if not explicit concerns in each of these essays.
