Friends of the Barge Canal in collaboration with 350VT completed our last cleanup for the Fall 🍂

We managed to drag out over 100 bags of trash plus many large pieces of detritus in 3 hours of working together. This is a continuation of our work begun on GreenUp Day this spring.

Though our original goal was to allow the land to breathe by clearing away decades old encampments that blanketed the Barge Canal, it has also become a critical aspect of our work to bring people back into relationship with the land.

Thank you to everyone who organized and showed up to clear trash and bring Healing to the Barge Canal with a Reverse Tashlich ceremony 🌀




———————————

Beautiful day today when Reverse taschclit is happening in 12 counties and 241 other locations in this continent. Thanks to all you who came out from the Ohavi Zedek, Ruach HamaQom, temple Sinai and other communities in Burlington VT and to Lynda Siegel for spearheading this. We removed 2 more cubic tons of trash which now added to the 6 already removed means 8 cubic tons of trash have freed up space for this wounded land to breathe.

While we at the Friends of the Barge Canal continue our mission to conserve, restore, remediate, and rematriate this land, today was a neat blend in combining our ancestral tradition of prayer with in process activism to tend a fragile urban wild.

Remnants of the lives of 3 generations of houseless folx, on soil with 56 toxins of concern, where industrial colonization degraded ancient wetlands that were once fishing, hunting, and ceremony grounds to the Abenaki offers a portal into the collective wounds we dedicate our lives to repair.

As we finished the blessings at opening circle, hundreds of geese took off from the canal and some circled our crew. Circles within circles. Shalohm to all layers of this web.🌱✨
