welcome, Zoe Elise Wilson

Yes life goes on.  Even as Arc Ecology morns the passing of our friends and colleagues Jesse Mason and Eve Bach we celebrate and welcome into our extended family a new member. 

Zoe Elise Wilson

Marcel Wilson, principle of Bionic Landscape Architecture and Planning, Arc Ecology’s long time consultant and contractor for projects such as our award winning report Alternatives For Study, and his lovely wife Jennifer, herself an accomplished landscape architect and artist, have just given birth to their second daughter. Zoe Elise Wilson was born on June 10, 2025 at 5:47pm. She weighed 7 lbs 8oz. As we can all see from the photo, she is a lovely baby and we wish her parents and he equally lovely sister Lena all the best this world has to offer. 

Each of us, whether President or pauper, or a force for good as Eve and Jesse had become or a force for ill, no matter the circumstances of our births, begins life as a tiny human looking for nurturance and a loving home. Children are able to endure much with these two ingredients.  It is the world these children encounter - their genes notwithstanding - that shape the adults they become. It is the actions of we adults that shape the world that children encounter. As we look at this wonderful picture I hope we can take a moment to think about the world this child and the rest of humanity’s children face everyday and recommit to making it a better place than we found it.  If not for us, then for Zoe and her peers born into this world of 2010.
