Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center

Britta Petrich is a writer, educator, and creator. She is a lifelong letter writer following in the footsteps of women letter writers in her maternal line.

In eight different letters, Britta describes a moment in time at Shaver's Creek and the surrounding landscapes. In Britta's own words...

"Although each letter can be read as a standalone piece, when read in order... they tell a larger story. Just as individuals have stories to share, it is the collective story that portrays a deeper message."

This collection of letters is part of the Long-Term Ecological Reflections Project (LTERP), an initiative to record a century at Shaver's Creek through a creative assortment of artwork and writings. Explore all of Britta's letters and other LTERP entries at the link below.
