National Trails Day
What Path are You On?

Denise Lawungkurr Goodfellow, professional birder

   In ancient times, Hawaiian people recognized that it was the kuleana, the responsibility, of each individual to kōkua, to help maintain the trails and pathways. As people walked the trails, they each did a little of the necessary maintenance, from replacing rocks knocked from the edges to smoothing roughened places. As many people each were doing a little, a lot got done.
   In these challenging economic times, we can use the lessons of the past and each lend a hand to pave a clearer path to the future. June 6 is National Trails Day, but we'll be celebrating all month with various fun educational activities in support of sustainability and environmental and cultural health.

To copy my - or any other artist's - work without permission constitutes theft.

You wouldn't walk into my house and steal one of my paintings, would you? Why steal it from my website? If you like my work that much, do the honorable thing and purchase it honestly. That way I will be able to afford to keep producing more.
