Spring Planting Work Weekend, May 28-31, 2010
Spring Planting Work weekend is a wonderful example of the F&W community at work, play and meeting in spirit. It is a chance for us to make a contribution of loving labor to Farm & Wilderness, experience a sense of community in this wonderful place, recharge our spiritual batteries, and relish the time spent in the Plymouth Valley. The projects completed on this weekend are a crucial part of preparing the camps' gardens and physical plant for summer camp. We will be raising a new timber frame cabin at the Indian Brook campus, planting our gardens, hiking canoeing and much much more.
