Seattle Forest Week at Frink: Land & Community TendingOctober 30, 11am-4pm @ Frink Park Futures Rising: Restoration & Co-creation and Seattle Parks and Recreation are partnering to offer this Land-based Arts, Food Sovereignty, Community Care practice space centering BIPOC community, and opened to all of our relations. This space offers our community opportunity to practice land restoration, stewardship, plant identification, field experience, tools and safety, food sovereignty, plant medicine, art, community, survival skills, culinary skills, and space and time to connect with the land and each other. This space will be facilitated by an intergenerational rotating crew of BIPOC Mentors who live to share and resource the next generation of brilliant humans. All tools and equipment needed to work will be provided. This space is intergenerational and all are welcome to attend! This space has held human beings traditionally as a space to cross from saltwater to freshwater. Frink was one of the spaces that was protected due to the extreme inclines. Remnant forest surrounds beautiful wetlands. This area has a history of redlining, part of our work is to reestablish ourselves in these spaces that once pushed us out. Over the last year we (including many community partners and stewards) have planted and tended foods and medicines. We will be creating more space for new plants arriving towards the end of October. Please come and join us while we tend this space more |
