Common Ground

Common Ground

Join us for an evening talk with author, teacher and activist, Eileen Flanagan. She will be sharing aspects of her new book and her lifelong commitment to environmental action and justice.

With Earth Quaker Action Team, Eileen has played key leadership roles in three climate campaigns, including one against a multinational bank to pause its financing of mountaintop removal coal mining. Her newest book, Common Ground: How the Crisis of the Earth is Saving Us from Our Illusion of Separation, argues that solidarity with all life is our best hope for survival. The book is the result of eight years of research and connection with community coalitions that have successfully bridged differences across race, class, and religion to achieve common environmental goals. As a first-generation college student, she earned a BA from Duke and an MA from Yale. The Dalai Lama endorsed her award-winning book The Wisdom to Know the Difference, and some of the best-known climate activists in the world endorsed her memoir Renewable. She lives with her husband on Lenape land in Philadelphia.

Less Lawn More Life

Less Lawn More Life

How healthy is your yard? Learn about simple steps to making your home a natural oasis and refuge for wildlife, no matter what size yard, or planter you have.  We can all be part of a growing movement to protect and nurture biodiversity and healthy ecosystems for ourselves, our communities, and future generations. 

All are welcome to a free workshop at Blue Rock School given by Plan It Wild, a local company specializing in native landscaping in the NYC metro area and Hudson Valley. This workshop will demonstrate how simple it is to bring native plantings to your property, no matter the size, and see it thrive with trees, flowers, butterflies and birds.

In the face of unprecedented ecological collapse, Plan it Wild's initiative, Less Lawn more Life, aims to transform America's 44 million acres of lawns—more land than all National Parks combined—into vibrant native ecosystems that restore nature.

Plan it Wild believes that positive change happens through inspiration, not fear. When people experience the joy of watching butterflies in their garden, hear birdsong return to their neighborhood, and feel the satisfaction of contributing to something bigger than themselves, restoration will become contagious.

With 78% of America's land privately owned, landowners are leaders of the next wave of conservation. The transformation begins in our own backyards. www.planitwild.com
