Daybreak Star Forest Garden Land Tending: Tending Our FutureJanuary 30, 11am-2:30pm @ Daybreak Star These gatherings are a return—to land, to care, and to being in right relationship with one another. Guided by Indigenous leadership at United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, we come together to practice food sovereignty, cultural memory, and collective care in grounded, real ways. This week, we’ll be planting and preparing a root garden—tending camas and other plant relatives that nourish elders, youth, and Indigenous-centered community programs, while growing a future rooted in reciprocity and care. Land work is always happening. Participation is flexible: you’re welcome to come just to tend the land, move your body, and be in community. Alongside this, we’re offering optional creative and reflective practices, including a book and film series in partnership with The Seattle Public Library Foundation. From February–March, we’ll loosely engage with M-Archive (Alexis Pauline Gumbs) and Hospicing Modernity (Vanessa Machado de Oliveira), using them as touchstones—not requirements—for noticing, questioning, and imagining together. Readings are available on Libby and Audible, with hard copies available to borrow. Each week pairs hands-on stewardship—root gardens, ivy and blackberry removal, composting, observing light and shade—with gentle questions and creative invitations: mapping, writing, drawing, shared leadership, and slowing down enough to listen to land and each other. If you’re looking for a place to show up, build relationships, and explore what care, responsibility, and possibility can look like in practice, this is a space to gather, tend the land, and grow something lasting. more |

Magnuson ReforestationJanuary 30, 12:30pm-3:30pm @ Warren G. Magnuson Park Help improve habitat and create replacement forest on a formerly denuded navy airfield. (Above photo taken in Navy era). The aim is to create healthy forest habitat and increase beneficial ecosystem services including provision of human enjoyment and health. It is also an opportunity to enjoy nature and learn a bit about native plants while doing satisfying work. Work is most likely to include removing invasive plants like ivy, Canada thistle, and blackberry but may also include other tasks such as distributing wood chip mulch. Because the work may be beyond capability of youth below high school age, please get the leader’s permission before registering if younger. more |
