For this #SilentSunday... An image taken earlier this week of a place where my friends and I had #Beltaine/#MayDay rituals years ago. I'm not sure if #ThomasMorton had ever visited #Newbury, but if he had visited #Quascacunquen / #OldTownHill, I'm sure he would have wanted to erect a Maypole there. Now under the stewardship of the Trustees of Reservations, there is a circle of 12 large rocks around a tree -- and evidence that even today, folks are still having rituals atop this sacred spot!

A few months ago, I helped my local #LandTrust convert their old HTML site to #wordpress.
One benefit of this is that their donation process has been streamlined. (Previously people filled out a PDF form, mailed it in with a check or independently donated on Paypal).
Since then, they've used their website to raise over $1,000!
Today I had an inspiring call with community land trusts from all over Michigan creating homeownership opportunities for 60-120% area median income. There are a lot of challenges in the land trust model, and state policy needs to change to support it. Land trusts share equity between homeowners and the community to maintain affordability. #affordablehousing #landtrust #equitabledevelopment #michigan #mshda https://groundedsolutions.org/strengthening-neighborhoods/community-land-trusts

The community land trust offers an alternative model. In it, a community-based nonprofit organization takes possession of land as a steward in perpetuity for community needs — in this instance, for housing.

Land trusts can be great partners in shifting local and regional food systems toward more communal models of land ownership and management
Here the Finger Lakes Land Trust is doing tremendous work protecting land from adverse development through #conservation easements
Working with folks like Mike DeMunn/Da hà dá nya (#Seneca) to ensure that "Anyone, whether they are Native or not, can make a choice to be a life giver to the land."

Even more outraged over the plight of real, life-threatened refugees now that I’m frustrated just trying to navigate immigration to mastodon just to escape one muskrat. #waltham #mapoli #farmersmarkets #landtrust #Deadheads #trailbuilding #climatecrisis #dimsum #TTB #safestreets #rvtravel #thaifood #workercoop #localactivism

Nonfiction coffee table book project I'm laying out with InDesign. This book will be used as a fundraising tool for the Southeast Cave Conservancy, a land trust that buys caves. We're going to do a crowdfunding campaign next year to pay for printing. I think it will look good. #Books #Fundraising #LandTrust #Caves

Cool work done by local volunteers and land stewards in the Comox Valley. Including protecting habitat for the Morrison Creek Lamprey, found only in this small creek on Vancouver Island

Can this innovative #housing model help solve #California’s affordable housing crisis?
A seldom-used housing model is gaining steam across the country, particularly in communities where tenants are facing higher rents and possible #displacement....
