A serene moment in Brust Park: an Eastern Bluebird perched gracefully, adding a splash of color to the greenery. Nature's simple pleasures are the most profound.

1 minute after we finished—boom, “here’s your form.”
Not listed on the site.
Tools delayed.
But we still showed up and made it count.

Just a guy and his rake doing what he can.

You don’t need a big crew to make a big impact.
Just time, sweat, and care.

Brust Park’s getting its love back, one patch at a time.

Not bad for a couple people and a few tools that finally showed up halfway through.

This wasn’t about making a statement—
it was about making progress.

No sign. No tools. No tarp.
No problem. I showed up anyway.
Sometimes the work starts before the support does.

#BrustPark is a serene #winter wonderland, with snow-covered landscapes and glistening #trees.  Amidst the #snow, signs of spring emerge with tiny buds and a thawing creek, hinting at renewal. 🌱🌷

🌿 Sad to share that the Stewards of #BrustPark have ceased operations. While I’ve stayed active sharing my love for the park, I’m now working with @PfPNYC to form a new #FriendsOfBrustPark group. Stay tuned to help keep our #Bronx green space beautiful! https://t.co/HWbyZyNWyd

One of my favorite poems:
“Place"
On the last day of the world
I would want to plant a #tree
