Welcome to the 2024 OJI:SDA' volunteer season! We are happy to announce that we have an official 2024 volunteer calendar available, with plans to meet at the Soil Factory and at the OJI:SDA' Forest in the coming months (AKA the Hill, for past volunteers)! We hope that this will allow for greater accessibility and a wider range of activities for everyone to enjoy :-).

We are kicking off the new season of Volunteer Community Days with a fresh location at the Soil Factory, where new baby plants and seeds will find their home in the earth. Join our incredible volunteers and register now to be part of this exciting community effort.

The Land to Teapot program’s purpose is to re-establish and strengthen connections with our Indigenous community, the local community, the Land, and ancestral relationships using plant medicines, ancestral and traditional environmental knowledge. The funding from the Park Foundation helps to fund our Youth Sprouting Program and Community Weaving Program to strengthen our connection to and sustainability in the Tompkins community.

Learn about traditional medicinal plants. Then share Indigenous teas and teachings whilst sharing them with your community. Become a Plant Care Fellow.
