Story & Experience
The High Hope Ranch Sisterhood embarked on a three-year global Earth Exchange Project. We know that a power line running through the ranch and onto our beloved neighbor Fossil Rim is going to be replaced. This will involve heavy machinery, a lot of mowing, and a lot of tree pruning. We are in an area with endangered species that rely on this brush and the trees, and we have Oak Wilt which spreads through pruning and damage to oak trees. We went to the entry point of the power line onto High Hope and blessed the old wooden pole and the land down the line. We built two birds, one which we think pieces will survive the power line clearing. The second bird is the ephemeral bird in keeping with the Rad Joy bird tradition. We will return next year which may be during the clearing, and we will return a third time after the clearing is finished.
