WATERSHED
a community cares for its land

                                                                                by christine sevilla 
 
 
                                                                                                                         A pond as fair as the heavens 
 
  These places form a transitional bridge between waterway and land.
I am like them – melding boundaries, filtering all, mediating the deluge, in flux, ignored.

We have a bond, wetlands and me. They share their atmosphere with me, and
I honor this bond by sharing their allure through images.

Sevilla has been interviewing and photographing preserve monitors, planners and local leaders; some of these interviews and portraits are part of the WATERSHED exhibit, which features approximately 200 images of local wetlands. She recently completed a guidebook to local wetlands that explains wetland value, gives maps and directions to wetland locations, and encourages stewardship of the land. 


 

This project is sponsored by the Genesee Valley Audubon Society and funded by the New York State Legislature,
New York State Council on the Arts, and the Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester.
