Countering Boredom

Snow brings a taste of the wild. It transforms all we can see and reminds us that a part of us craves for a more primitive corner of our world. Snow is the antithesis of everything controlling. Did the recent heavy snowfall respond to a bullet point in SRWT's new management plan?

Are we really so addicted to the routines of modern living? Novelty obsessions soon turn stale.

A beautifully written article in the New York Times:

It sums up many of the reasons why I criticise the control freakery of the local conservation industry.
