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

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 holds so much generosity and strength. Maplewood Playfield holds so many Oaks! Imagine before the colonization of Turtle Island; massive and expansive Oak Savannas and prairies spanning the land from Mexico all the way to Canada. These rich and generous ecosystems provided food for all beings and held a balance that was tended by so many beings, including humans. Part of our work is to learn and practice tending. 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
