Forge Project Meadow Work Day

The Farmscape Ecology Program will lead a Spring Meadow Work Day at Forge Project on Thursday, June 4th. Introductions will be led at 4:15pm and 5:45pm, and while participants are required to sign up for one session, they are welcome to stay for both.

The Farmscape Ecology Program has been involved in the transitioning of the former agricultural fields and traditionally landscaped areas into native meadows and shrublands that will feature native and culturally significant species. Guests can expect to learn some of the native plants we try to support and help remove invasives. This is a seasonal opportunity to participate hands-on in some of the remediation work happening onsite and learn how you can fold simple restoration practices into your own home spaces and gardens.

Basic plant identification will be led by the Farmscape Ecology Program team, and Paloma Wake, Forge Project Operations Director, will share about some of the shifts happening throughout the land at Forge Project and the organization’s ongoing relations with the Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohicans, the homeland people who this land belongs to and who belong to this land.

Guests are asked to bring their own gardening gloves and hand tools if possible (for example a digging fork, dandelion digger, hand clippers, weed wrench); a water bottle; and a willingness to work together. Snacks and beverages will be provided by Forge Project.

Interested participants should plan to register on the Forge Project website:
