Autumn Olives are beautiful, fragrant trees with delicious and nutritious berries. They are also a highly invasive species. They spread rapidly and crowd out native plants and make the land unusable for plants, animals and humans. Much of the land we used for Ceremony is now crowded by Autumn Olives!

For those of you interested in joining the Autumn Olive Removal Party on the Michigan Ceremonial Land, we will meet on October 17th, 18th and 19th (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) to get a good start on the Fall clean-up. If you are able, join in the defense of our beautiful ceremonial land, native trees and plants on one of those days or all of them.

Things to bring:
Chain Saws
Loppers
Hand Loppers
Work Gloves
Drinking Water
Insect Repellant
Sunscreen
Lunch and healthy snacks

What to wear: I recommend you wear heavy duty long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Autumn Olives have thick sharp thorns that can easily pierce and snag thin clothing.

Potluck: We will finish each day with a community meal. Bring your favorite beverages for self and sharing! Sign up so I’ll know who’s coming and when! Let me know if you have any food allergies or intolerances. You can also email me if you need information or clarification or you're seeking housing for the weekend.

Let your friends know about it too! They might be interested in joining a group of hearty individuals such as us for fun in nature?

I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
