“The catalyst that converts any physical location - any environment if you will - into a place, is the process of experiencing deeply. A place is a piece of the whole environment that has been claimed by feelings. Viewed simply as a life-support system, the earth is an environment. Viewed as a resource that sustains our humanity, the earth is a collection of places.” - Alan Gussow

We'd sure adore your support to Preserve Playful Land in Hawthorne, Philadelphia. This 13,000 square foot corner forest and veritable array of imagination is stewarded by a raggle taggle handful of vibrant 1-2 year olds. Following a circuitous path of reciprocity and healing, these stewards develop a love of place by making paper from the six sumptuous trees, tumbling broken glass into smoothed keepsakes and delving wondrously into loose part play.
