One of the most inspiring people I have had the pleasure of working with is Pete Rivera, a true community hero.
In August, 2022 I sat down with Pete to record the story of how he led the charge to save Red Bluff, now a Nature Preserve. Pete's story was so inspiring, I worked to create a piece that would share it widely.
My Audio Wild highlights Pete’s story, and is now a permanent welcome sign and audio art piece at the Harold Court entrance (5607 Harold Court, Austin, TX 78721). LISTEN HERE .
I hope you take a hike, and learn more about Pete and the history of the land at Red Bluff.
Audio Wild seeks to provide nature preserve visitors with compelling stories that provide a deeper sense of place through an auditory experience tailored to the site. Audio Wild is a work in progress and new recordings will be added as they are completed. Audio Wild recordings may provide the listener with a variety of experiences including unique insights into the natural history of the site, interesting facts about plants or animals in the area, or stories recounting the history of the site.
