Ten different UCM households gathered from 1-3pm on Sunday afternoon to plant trees at the North Branch Nature Center. I'm so very thankful for the heart, energy and muscle the families and our partner organizations put into this project. It was a collaborative effort organized by 350vt.org / Mother Up Montpelier, Friends of the Winooski River, and North Branch Nature Center. Collectively, along with other volunteers from the community, we planted 300 trees to restore the traditional flood plain forest in their lower field by the foot bridge. Watch it grow over the coming 20-30 years!
As I was helping pack up the last of the buckets and shovels, a barred owl called several times from the hill across the river. It felt like a special blessing of the sacred work that we engaged in with one another and that land.
