Intergenerational Care for Land and Community

Remember the catchphrase, “If we use a plant respectfully, it will flourish; if we ignore it, it will go away”? It was popularized by Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass and Gathering Moss and founder of Plant Baby Plant, who will join Esther Bonney, youth organizer and co-founder of the Nurture Natives, as they share the stage in a conversation about “Intergenerational Care for Land and Community.”

Wild Ones, Plant Baby Plant, and Nurture Natives present a free national webinar, “Intergenerational Care for Land and Community: A Conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer and Esther Bonney.” We will explore how small local actions, from school gardens to community plantings, can become part of a wider web of reciprocity and repair.
