a witness piece about delayed care

A good year can hide a bad decade. Pin one small act, then walk forward far enough to see whether the grove remembers.

Click a year. Rust blocks are authored dry intervals; gold marks are your interventions.
The model is intentionally legible: rain becomes soil, soil and habitat shape pollinators, and those conditions shape fruit and tree survival.
