Cont’d. from PRESERVING GREENSPACES, page 2
fish from Spring Creek five times a week. I spent
so much time out in nature. I can show you where
all the springs are, where the water comes out of
the ground and feeds the creek.”
When Conley’s own daughter was six years old,
she took her back to the woods of her childhood.
“I had her close her eyes and wouldn’t let her open
them until we were underneath a 300-year-old
oak tree, about a quarter of a mile from Spring
Creek. She opened her eyes, looked up, and
couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She was
absolutely in awe of its beauty.”
The area remains close to Conley’s heart, and
she returns from time to time to sit at the base of
that old oak tree. “I sit by that tree and talk to my
mom and dad. They passed away years ago, but
when I’m sitting there, I’m home.”
