When I hiked with Nadia and her colleagues and friends on the east end of St. Croix, I thought of Crucian naturalist George A. Seaman when I explained to them how the rolling hills, valleys and coastal environment looked more than 150 years ago. Pictured is Jack Bay and Horse Shore Bay peninsula.

Traditionally in the Virgin Islands, Red Grout is served on March 31, a local holiday known as Transfer Day.

You can see utility poles are on one side of the road and the trees are planted on the opposite side of the road. (Photo by Olasee Davis)
