This past weekend, we installed pavers at the new park at the corner of Cherry and Main. The Old West End Neighborhood Association voted to officially name it “Community Circle.” We will hold another work day on May 16th, starting at 1:30 pm. We intend to finish putting pavers down in the circle and begin planting.
I'm a cultural and environmental anthropologist with interests in biodiversity management and smallholder agriculture in rural Amazonia. I've conducted research on agrobiodiversity management, anthropogenic soils, and community-based conservation. Currently, I'm also interested in the ways that farmers rely upon social networks, local ecological knowledge, and agrobiodiversity management to contend with the uncertainties of global climate change.
