After leading our character and confidence building nature immersion programs for 15 years on borrowed and leased land, the time has come for Wild Earth to enter a deeper relationship of reciprocity with the land.
With short-term loans from three generous donors, Wild Earth has secured a beautiful piece of the Hudson Valley encompassing over 135 acres of flowing streams, rock outcroppings, blueberry, mountain laurel and hardwood forest.
We are so excited for the ways long-term relationship will lead to even deeper nature connection experiences, community connection, and generational continuity for years to come.
This is the land we have been dreaming of.
In the words of Robin Wall Kimmerer in her book Braiding Sweetgrass:
We will take care of this land as if our lives and the lives of all of our children depend on it.
May we learn from the land how to give our gifts and meet our responsibilities – may we learn how to be human!
While we have secured this land, we will need to re-pay short-term loans and build out the infrastructure that will make this extraordinary land Wild Earth’s home for the future.
In the coming months, you will be hearing much more about how you can help make this dream a reality. Please reach out to us with questions or to share your enthusiasm.
