I've been given the thumbs up by the boss to plan a volunteer day across the base at the Alameda Point Collective Farm on Wednesday, April 22; a day outside digging in the dirt and putting things together in the name of agriculture, neighbors and the youth. Friends and family welcome, too. I'm planning to be over there most of the day but you're welcome to just spend the afternoon or an hour... If you think you can come help out email me (goldengreenbird at gmail).
Possible projects for the day as suggested by Evan, the guy who runs the farm:
1) Working on our aquaponics system (fish + veggie symbiosis) and chicken tractors (mobile coops)... these are ongoing projects which will not necessarily be finished, so much as chipped away at.
2) planting native perennials in our pollinator attracting areas
3) hand seeding winter squash in our vegetable bedsI'm putting a keg on ice for post-work beers and general jovial good times.
