Dear Grace Institute,

          Does life ever get so hectic you just want to go outdoors where there’s fresh air and nature? Well, your field along the St. George marsh is a perfect spot for just that! This field would be used for benches and a place where people can relax. That’s only one reason I think you should let us use your field.

          What do you think of when you think of a trail? Probably not a cleared out field, right? I think our trail needs variety. A cleared out area would be perfect for benches and people to sit, relax, and watch fish, birds, beavers, and eagles. For instance, I’ve seen an eagle and other birds all at once when I’ve been out there.

          Furthermore, people can come to this spot where it’s dry and they know they won’t get hurt. This one little spot can relieve so much stress and calm you down within seconds. For example, as soon as I get out there I take a deep breath and am relaxed instantly. I love it down there myself!

          I know what you’re thinking; have kids running around constantly? But that’s not it at all! This property will be going to excellent use by letting the school use it as an outdoor classroom, letting the community learn about it’s surroundings, and just to go out and take a walk!

          Consequently, this field would let people look at nature, let people learn about nature, and give people a place to go and relax. In the future generations more children will be using this trail; we want them to have as many opportunities and accessible points as we do!

          Thank you for listening to my opinion and acknowledging my idea. I hope you let us use your field!

Sincerely,

Leah
