“Industrial Tourism is a threat to national parks.” [1] 

The first patch I made was Off Trail. The Demerit Badge captures a hiking boot in mid-air about to crush a precious flower. On my hikes, I have noticed many cutoffs where people have clearly left the trail and scarred the land. This damages ecosystems and sometimes destroys rare plants and flowers.


Patches are a great influence on my art. My husband and I collect patches on our visits to state and national parks. This is our collection so far.
