Around the Pearl

**We live in an amazing place.**

Sometimes we all need a reminder about how beautiful the Pearl really is. It's a real privilege to be in an urban space so well integrated with the natural world. Tanner Springs Park is an urban habitat that connects to nature. According to the Greenworks website, the pond is cleansed biologically, without chemicals. Vegetation within the park is also managed without chemicals to protect the pond's biological viability. Another reminder to respect the park rules to keep the Pearls feathered visitors safe and returning year after year.
Thanks so much to Peggy Heckman for this fantastic photo!
