The Sylvan Dell Nature Park and Farm implements a comprehensive strategy for conservation, recreation, and education, while connecting residents with Williamsport's, and the region's, bountiful natural resources.

Ultimately, I conclude that the discursive material portrays a highly spectacularized and commodified “ideal” nature, …
