Celebrating Trees and Community, June 13, 2021

Strengthening the roots of trees and community in the Wright's Creek Watershed. Thanks to Mi'Kmaq Elder Judy Clark for blessing our field of trees and to PEI Poet Laureate Julie Pellissier-Lush for speaking words of hope, and helping to plant the Red Oak Tree in memory of all the stolen children.

Remembering survivors and all those who never returned from residential schools. June 2021.

The Roots of Hope.

Remembering survivors and all those who never returned from residential schools. June 2021.

From about 1863 to 1998, more than 150,000 indigenous children were taken from their families and placed in Residential Schools. The children were often not allowed to speak their language or to practice their culture, and many were mistreated and abused.  For those who will never return home, may their memory live on forever.  E'tasiw Mijua'ji'j Mekite'tasit - Every Child Matters 2021

Thanks to our partner @Tree-Canada!  Volunteers have been hard at work planting Acadian trees and shrubs in the fields on the south side of Wright's Creek. The newly forested land will help protect the Creek from erosion, and serve as shelter for birds and other animals.  

Want to help care for the newly planted trees? Message us.
