People and the Land
Havenwoods is a natural environment even though it is
profoundly different from the original wilderness
that covered this land. Humans have shaped
Havenwoods' past and they will continue to guide its
future.
As you
walk around Havenwoods watch for remnants of past
land uses. Be alert to the Earth's amazing power of
self-healing. Look carefully for ways humans have
nurtured this treasured green spot in the city.
