About Field Notes

Field Notes is a Quality Parks publication launched in November 2025 by Mindy Block. It contains reflections on park stewardship with additional insights on native plant care and establishment. After each park stewardship project, I create a Field Note — a reflective summary that weaves together our daily observations, volunteer advocacy, and hands-on work to improve parks. These notes also include efforts in native plant care and establishment for bee-friendly pollinator gardens and rewilding projects. Each Field Note tells the story of what we did, why it mattered, and how far we’ve progressed in restoring and sustaining our natural spaces.
