Happy Winter Solstice! On this darkest day of the year, I am pleased to announce some bright news–that it is my expectation that we can have Squad work parties with greater than five volunteers in the new year! Eight to twelve people is likely beginning mid January. It looks like guidance from the Governor’s office will categorize stewardship events as ‘Outdoor Guided Activities’ in the state’s Safe Start plan.
How we have missed working together in nature! Pilot stewardship events with COVID protocols have been successful and nourishing. And the noxious weeds have flourished in our absence. I hope you have found local household-centered ways to engage in stewardship during Squad’s pandemic hiatus.
We look forward to working together again soon! Happy Holidays and be well.
