Reclaiming and Restoring Land and Water
At The Common Acre we steward restoration sites in south Seattle, in partnership with other community based organizations, to seed, grow, and educate about native plants, water conservation, and Indigenous traditional and cultural foods.
Most recently, at the yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective Indigenous creatives collective we host a BIPOC youth cohort between March and October. Youth meet with our staff and community experts to learn about conservation and restoration from a culturally responsive lens. Youth in the cohort support our staff to organize and facilitate workshops at our monthly land stewardship events on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Together we offer a variety of workshops from planting camas bulbs, starting seeds, making herbal Native plant medicines, and soil remediation.
