#greenpastures

Sketches of trail work from this past week at Green Pastures, a park newly under the Virginia State Parks umbrella. Green Pastures is a treasure with a rich history–it was one of the only natural spaces available to black Americans in Virginia during the Jim Crow era.
I am lucky to be a part of caring for it now! We’re fixing steps, building creek crossings, and clearing logs and brush from the old trail.
Drawn from my memory of each spot. (IE more of an impression than a direct portrait!)
