 | At last month's Native Tree Care Workshop, participants learned about the subjective nature of pruning and the criticality of intentional cuts. A huge thanks to Fred and Kamala from Vintage Tree Care for donating their time to teach this workshop 🤍 |
| Greetings Daily Actor, Community mobilizations have always been at the heart of Daily Acts’ work. We believe that our collective actions have the power to create positive impacts for our communities and planet. Through collaborative partnerships with nonprofits, municipalities, businesses, schools, community organizations and individuals, we can address the pivotal issues facing our planet, from flood and fire to drought and pandemic. Together, we can be the change we wish to see in the world. |
|
|
| Next month, we have two exciting community planting mobilizations taking place at Miwok Park and Miwok Valley Charter School in Petaluma! We need volunteers to help plant beautiful water-wise gardens at these neighboring sites. These gardens will sequester carbon, sink and hold water in the soil, and provide habitat for pollinators. 🦋 Kids are welcome and encouraged to participate at both events. |

| When you volunteer you become part of a movement, capable of sharing your newly acquired skills with your circle of influence, planting seeds of change. Once they take root, they’ll spread even further, rippling the impacts of our small daily actions out and onward! With gratitude,
Sarina Consulter
