Wood Gathering Gathering

topic posted Thu, August 16, 2007 - 11:31 AM by  Rula
Hi-

We are planning a play-bor gather-ette to collect firewood for the upcoming winter. The gatherette will happen over Labor Day weekend from Thursday August 31st through Tuesday September 4th.

This event is part of the move toward energy sufficiency, using renewable sources (wood) of heat, and economically sustainable means (gathering rather than buying firewood) at the Sanctuary. The wood gathered will be used to heat Garden House, Teresa, and Halston - discontinuing the regular use of propane in T&H.

All those who share the desire to lessen the Sanctuary's dependence on the petro-chemical and electric power industries and would like to contribute their labor are welcome. We can promise tasty meals to satisfy varied dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, allergies, etc.) featuring fresh produce from the Sanctuary Garden.

We are seeking people with chainsaw experience, workers who know how to lift, load, and carry wood safely, and participants of all genders and affectional preferences. Please, please, please call the Sanctuary at 541-866-2678 to inform us of your plans to come so adequate food may be on hand when everyone arrives.

It would be totally fabulous to have massage people who would like to participate in easing the aches and pains of joyful labor. Likewise, if anyone would like to organize ride sharing from Portland, Seattle, the Bay Area, etc. that would be too cool.

The weather promises to be really hot during the day and coolish in the evenings. Gloves and most wood gathering equipment will be available. If you have saws (chain and/or hand) that you would like to bring, it would be most appreciated. Spare tents and some (minimal) bedding are available for people needing them. It is Oregon, so bring at least something that you can wear in the rain, which if you bring you will not need.

If you have any questions, please call the Land at 541-866-2678.
