Maple Wood Playfield - Maple Playfield: Land & …03/28/2026

Activities

ENGAGEMENT 2 — URGENCY, DECAY & CARE
You’re invited to a community land gathering held in gentleness, intention, and shared responsibility.
Together, we’ll tend the land through composting, mulching, soil repair, and blackberry and laurel management — practicing care without force and action without harm.
These gatherings are a return to land, to care, and to being in right relationship.
This season, we continue nurturing the pocket food forest, supporting a space of learning, play, and community care for young people and families.

Alongside the land work, we continue an optional book-and-film braid in partnership with The Seattle Public Library Foundation.
