[Climate Justice] New Lands Farm Work Day: CEL-I/II Opportunity

[Maya Berenholz]

Hi all,

Just trying to get the word out about an upcoming volunteer opportunity.
New Lands Farm is a refugee farmer collective in West Springfield that
works to provide refugee and immigrant farmers with the tools and resources
needed to access land and agricultural opportunities in Central and Western
Massachusetts. We're hosting a work day to get the farm ready for the
upcoming season and could really use some student support.

We need a work group who could come in and help out with the following
tasks:
--Seeding clover for Spring cover crop
--Dividing up plots to measure and mark out
--Organizing the tool shed
--Opening the farm up for the season

The work day will be on Saturday, April 12th from 9:30am-1:30pm, amounting
to 4 hours of CEL-I/II credit for students who participate. If you're
interested in volunteering your time and energy, please email me at
mb12 at hampshire.edu as soon as possible, as seats in the van driving to the
farm are limited.

We'll be working outside so warm, sturdy clothing that you don't mind
getting dirty and closed-toed shoes you can comfortably work in are
recommended. Layers are a good bet, as it might get warm throughout the
day. Bring a water bottle and any snacks/lunch you'd like to have.

To learn more about the organization, feel free to visit their website:

Thanks!
Maya
