We're really excited to head back to Divided Sky's Music on the Mountain show on May 16th. Last year, this was our very first show where we sold our stained glass pieces and it was a blast. The music and vibes were terrific - and we were in great company with lots of talented artists and craftspeople. If you can get down to Ludlow on the 16th, stop by our tent and say hello!

Wednesday, April 22nd is Earth Day. Join us in Wallingford for an engaging workshop on "The Value of Nature: Understanding and Celebrating Vermont’s Landscape," a presentation by retired VT Wetlands Ecologist and teacher, Mic Metz.

Please join us as Mic discusses The Value of Nature, an engaging exploration of how Vermont’s landscape—and our relationship with it—has evolved since the last Ice Age. Through stories of natural and cultural change, Mic will provide a thoughtful discussion of environmental ethics and the essential benefits ecosystems provide. Along the way, he will offer us a better understanding of key ecological principles and how they influence the management of natural systems and wildlife—from national policies to decisions made right here in our own communities.
The workshop includes a one-hour presentation followed by a question-and-answer session designed to help us connect, reflect, and deepen our understanding of the Value of Nature.
The Value of Nature will be held in the Klock Room of the Gilbert Hart Library in Wallingford. Wednesday, April 22nd from 6:30- 8:00pm. This presentation is free and open to anyone from Wallingford and the surrounding towns.
Mic Metz has taught biology and environmental science courses, such as Wildlife Ecology, Freshwater Ecology, Forest Ecology, Natural History of Vermont, and Environmental Science for CCV since 2011. Mic holds a BS in Biology from Rutgers University, an MS in Environmental Science from the University of Montana, Missoula, and a CPB Postbaccalaureate in Science Education from the Vermont State Colleges. Mic has worked as a forestry technician for the U.S. Forest Service in Montana, Colorado, and Idaho, a GIS ground truther for the U.S. Parks Service in Utah, and a wetland ecologist for the state of Vermont. Mic recently retired from teaching science at Otter Valley Union Middle and High School.

No Kings 3 is happening tomorrow (Saturday, March 28th) all over the country. We would be thrilled if you joined us in Wallingford - we have been gathering every Saturday from 12-1pm since February of last year. Yes, Wallingford really does Stand Up for Democracy. All are welcome; we gather on the sidewalks at the intersection of Rtes 7 and 140. Please bring positive and peaceful signs. As Heather Cox Richardson reminds us, these visibility gatherings are designed to demonstrate to the people driving by that "We are America!" Let them see the values that we hold dear - No Kings! Democracy! Equal Justice for All! Love! Belonging! Community! We the People!
If possible, please bring donations for our local community food pantry. Let's demonstrate our love and support for all of our neighbors!
This is a peaceful, non-violent demonstration, and peacekeepers will be on hand to support all participants.
