ORGANIZATION
The Native American nonprofit, Elderberry Wisdom Farm is completing habitat restoration work on its two-acre farm south of Salem in rural Marion County, and also developing our Native Plant Nursery on the upper two-acre Native Plant Nursery Site.
We welcome volunteers to join us this fall as we expand our 350' pollinator hedgerow on the south side of the farm, and the new 250' hedgerow on the east side of the farm.
No experience is needed, and this is a great place to learn about habitat restoration of our ecosystems in the mid-Willamette Valley and the importance of Traditional Ecological Knowledge. We have several projects that are ongoing this year and truly appreciate the enthusiasm and good support of our volunteers who join us on Saturdays this fall.
When you arrive you can work with Lora and Julie, our Habitat Restoration Mentors. They are knowledgelable plus they are warm and gracious and enjoyable to work with. We will appreciate your help keeping our farm and pollinators healthy All activities are held outside and volunteers social distance plus they can wear masks if they prefer in order to minimize transmission of COVID or other infectious diseases.
