“The earth is what we all have in common.” – Wendell Berry Celebrate Earth Day with an evening of shared words and quiet reflection. We’ll gather to read and write about the planet we call home—nature’s influence on our lives and our own place within the living world. Bring a favorite short poem or prose piece to read—your own or another’s—rooted in the natural world, along with a notebook or laptop for your own writing. You’re invited to bring a small potted plant to place at the center of our table—a living reminder of our shared ground, our need for tending, and the growth that happens when we gather.

Volunteers needed on Stewardship Saturday—a weekly opportunity to help restore and care for the historic montane forests of Volcan Mountain. Join our reforestation team for a full day on the mountain as we plant the next generation of trees. Volunteers will help establish coulter pine, bigcone Douglas-fir, and incense cedar across priority restoration sites. The day begins at 8 a.m. at VMF's Sky Island basecamp with coffee, a short orientation, and hands-on training in silviculture best practices. We’ll introduce the landscape, explain how planting locations are selected, and share how volunteers contribute to our broader restoration strategy. For those interested, optional sessions will also explore place-based decision-making, field data entry, adaptive management, and long-term monitoring. After orientation, volunteers will form small planting crews and head into the field to begin hard, fun work on the mountain! Planting will wrap up around 2:30 p.m. (earlier departures are always fine). Afterwards, we’ll gather just 10 minutes down Wynola Road for an informal Happy Hour at Calico Cidery, an organic orchard-based taproom serving natural wine, farm-style cider, and local non-alcoholic beverages. Whether you’re a seasoned planter or brand new to restoration work, we’d love to have you join us as we rebuild this forest together.
