Earth Day Tree Planting and Blessing of the Rods
12555 Spirit of the Woods Rd, Brethren, MI
Join Spirit of the Woods & NoMi Forest School Homeschool group to plant a Black Willow tree for Earth Day!
The tree is being provided by Archangel Tree Archive, located in Copemish. The kids in the homeschool group cut & cloned their own trees back in February. In March, they transferred them to larger pots, and the one being planted was done by them as well.

They will also have SWCC VP & member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians tribe, Jessica Steinberg, doing a Blessing of the Fishing Poles to honor the beginning of Trout season.

After the Blessing & tree planting we will set out for a relaxing Earth Day hike!

Sip, Savor, & Sustain at Rove Winery - 3:00-6:30pm

As part of the cork crew, you'll spend an hour walking a mile of M-72, picking up trash and giving back to our local area. Dress comfortably (bright colors) for the weather and be prepared for some good old-fashioned teamwork.

After our cleanup efforts, you'll “Wine Down” with Rove Winery for a well-deserved treat. Indulge in the fruits of our labor with a complimentary glass of wine, along with snacks to replenish the soul.
