Saguaros take years to grow to an inch tall, so when wildfire runs through Arizona's desert, the change could last a lifetime. Here's a crew working to see if they can bring back the desert we knew: biographic.com/the-saguaro-s…

Appreciate the @TontoForest @SaguaroNPS @NationalForests and @audubonsociety staff who shared their time for my many questions. And huge thanks to @bioGraphic for saying yes to this pitch and to @cestmoiLanglois for encouraging evocative sentences into the story.

Have had such an inspiring couple of days with the #NatGeoStorySummit with @InsideNatGeo this week. A few standouts in a sea of peaks...

I'm taken by the idea of investing in particular places, pursuing passions, telling stories, and I'm deeply grateful to those storytellers who took time this week to talk about the ethics and boundaries around being a human while being a journalist.
