Their body temperatures go down, but not as much as those of true hibernators. Chipmunks may come out during mild weather or wake up and munch on some of their stored food. #WildlifeWednesday

Posted @withregram • @browngirloutdoorworld What Posted @withregram • @browngirloutdoorworld What if we allowed ourselves room to reimagine the relationship we have with nature and the role we play in it?

What if we created room for others to unlearn all they've been taught about who deserves space in the outdoors, who gets to care for it and fully redefine what this relationship can look like - removing elitism?

What if we embraced this nature space as a healing place for so many souls who have been robbed of time in nature, time with themselves in nature?

I am reimagining my role, my work, my calling in what it means to know, love and protect nature.

I am imagining a future where the 'We" is greater than the "I" and the future is better because of the present.
