Where do you find nature? Bay Nature’s Spring 2014 issue celebrates the idea that nature’s where you look for it. Leath Tonino finds adventure and understanding in a hammock strung high in a redwood tree, above the bright lights and barking dogs of urban San Francisco. Ron Erskine finds solitude in the Orestimba Wilderness, the Bay Area’s only state-designated wilderness area and a spot so lonely it can get a little unnerving. Kenneth Brower looks through the eyes of the legendary landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted, and finds beauty and enormous potential in a vision of the then-undeveloped East Bay Hills. We also go looking in the Bay, on a swim in the pond with the charismatic leopard shark and in the living shoreline.
