This is a meadow with a surprising and entertaining story and a memorable cast of characters. The storyline flows across overlapping circles of connection among people and place. This is a pleasurable, novel way to understand how a social and natural landscape became what it is today.

Imagine, if you will, being at the meadow to witness unfolding before you the larger story of this landscape.
