    Field trip to ƛ̕ ax̌ʷadis (Tl’ awh-ah-dees) Park. KBA, Inc came back to see the park they helped through construction. Dear friends from Molina came to pitch in again. And as always, you were there. It was hot, there were mosquitos. We stayed in the shade, took breaks. Looked for Himalayan blackberry hiding in the salmonberry, learned bird’s-foot trefoil, avoided nettles. Talked about salmon, who are coming home very soon, talked about the relationship between plants and fish, talked about the degradation Euro-American settlement has brought to this land.

We leave with so much distance travelled in just three hours.

    We continued clearing a new patch of Himalayan blackberry, started on a patch of knotweed, the stalks of these like giants. Rescued a fern, excavated more trash, were stung by nettles. Fringe cup and large-leaved avens watched from along the trail.

    U.S. Navy Reserve members from all over join us. The large branch of a horse chestnut tree comes down, taking two folding handsaws with it. Baby conifers uncovered, trash exhumed. So many gifts, so much grace.
