Dear loving stewards of forestland. You are welcome to an upcoming agroforestry workshop focused on supporting Black and Brown forest landowners/stewards to further develop sustainable livelihoods on forestlands:

Khuba International’s Strong Roots, New Growth - Emerging Markets Workshop:
Black Locust Management and Market Access

REGISTRATION link on Khuba’s website

Title: Black Locust Management and Market Access
Date: Saturday, Dec 13th, 2025
Time: 1 to 3 pm
Location: Hawk Meadow Farm - 5066 Mott Evans Rd, Trumansburg, NY 14886

Facilitator: Steve Sierigk, Farmer and Forest Land Manager

Workshop Description: Black locust trees offer a wide range of benefits and opportunities, making them an excellent choice for active management rather than a “plant and forget” option. Their high-density wood is one of the most rot-resistant materials available in the Northeast, making it ideal for applications such as fence posts, trellises, and other weather-exposed projects. Untreated locust wood is also highly valued in regenerative agriculture and serves as exceptional firewood. Participants in this workshop will learn about managing locust stands within a forest ecosystem and explore potential market opportunities. The format is a peer-to-peer learning experience where a host farmer shares their insights and experiences as a land steward. Attendees will benefit from a farm and forest tour, discussions on locust management, non-timber forest products, and forest restoration efforts.

An important story from the Epoch Times:

In 1939, a 12-year-old girl named Opal Lee and her family were driven from their home by a mob filled with hate. Their house was destroyed, their memories reduced to ashes — yet their spirit remained unbroken. That night marked not just a loss of land, but a test of faith and resilience that would echo for generations.

Eighty-five years later, at the age of 97, Opal Lee returned to that same land — not as a victim, but as a symbol of courage and triumph. With the support of her community, she received a new home built on the very ground where her childhood was taken from her. This moment wasn’t only about reclaiming property; it was about restoring dignity, hope, and justice long overdue.

Opal Lee, lovingly known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth,” reminds us that history is not just what we inherit — it’s what we heal. Her story is a testament to perseverance, to faith in the goodness of people, and to the belief that unity can right the wrongs of the past. Let her journey inspire all of us to stand for what is right, protect what we hold dear, and honor those who never stop fighting for the truth. ❤️💫rtant
