BORN to ReWILD!

Annual May Day Celebration

Saturday April 29, 2023
2pm-6pm
 
Amidst environmental crisis, there are many small Acts of Restorative Kindness (ARK) each of us can do for Planet Earth.     

TOGETHER WE CAN BE THE ARK!

​

“If you want to save the Planet, start with your own patch of it.”
– Mary Reynolds, Nature Activist, Author, Founder of WeAreTheArk.org

Savor an afternoon of family friendly fun at the farm, discovering how to ARK:
 
~  Explore the rewilded areas of our fields, forest, marshes, and ponds.
~  Join a scavenger hunt to find new plant and animal species who have arrived!
~  Prepare to create your own ARK - even in a pot or window box.
~  Create May Crown and welcome spring with a Maypole Dance.
~  Gather with kindred spirits over a potluck supper.

~  Enjoy the vast vistas that surround the farm.

Be part of this citizen science project as we begin to document
