A contributor perspective from Killebrew, presented by Heather Killebrew.

Conceptual close-up portrait of Joey in profile, wearing a dirt-stained cream-colored work hoodie. His short salt-and-pepper hair and neatly trimmed beard are illuminated by warm autumn sunlight, with golden foliage softly blurred in the background.

Autumn 2026. This portrait shows the Wildwood I picture in my mind: a quiet afternoon, a work-worn hoodie, and trees growing beyond the frame. The farm is still a dream, and I have much to learn about finding land, raising healthy trees, and caring for them through the seasons. But the reason behind it is clear. After losing Dawne, I learned that love does not end when a life does. I want to create a place where families can plant a tree for someone they miss and return to watch it grow. I hope Wildwood becomes more than a name on my shirt. I want it to be a place of patience, work, remembrance, and something living left for the next generation.
