Moab Community Gardens, active in the valley for three growing seasons, provides space and kinship for locals who want to grow their own food. As they experience more interest from the community, the group says there is a need for public, in-town garden space. But their recent garden proposal for a city-owned patch of land has been caught in the crosshairs of ongoing difficulties at city hall. Council members experienced public backlash on a bike skills park, and they say they are nervous and unwilling to move forward on any proposal for their properties without a more formal, equitable process in place. And later in the news, a phenomenon called the ‘anthropause’ is allowing scientists to study how humans affect animals.
