For most of us the first reaction to change is skepticism. We hesitate and read closely what enthusiastic project people would like to persuade us about. 

Whether it is a new national park, a playground, a climate project, a path, or the restoration of a watercourse, the reaction is often hesitant and sometimes people put themselves both metaphorically and physically in the way of the project
