The Beaver Lodge Food Forest is 24 acres of land on southern Onondaga territory in what is now known as Sullivan Country, NY. This land was donated to Indigenous Vision by Phyllis Rodriguez who is one of our Morning Star donors who contributed an additional $10,000.00 to the project’s success.
We’ve been sharing updates about the Beaver Lodge Food Forest through our newsletters over the past couple of years, but this month we have a very special webinar hosted by the lodge caretaker, Thaeaghoweñs Cook or Kenneth Cook who has been working on the land cultivating seed stock, planting trees, removing invasives and abandoned structures, monitoring water tables and environmental risk factors among many other important things. Kenneth is Onondaga and his ancestors have been living on the land for generations; the work he has been doing is incredibly important to not just IV but to him and his growing family.
If you’re curious about the Beaver Lodge Food Forest and want to know all about what happens when you get ‘Land Back’, please join us this Wednesday, April 29th at 6:00 pm Eastern for a discussion about the Beaver Lodge Food Forest with Kenneth Cook & Souta Calling Last.
This webinar is free to join, please register here.
