New Care Farm Docent Program Launches

We’re looking for volunteers to join our docent cadre to lead public tours during tour season (April – Oct.). Docents will share the history and the mission of the care farm and encourage visitors to engage with the animals, wildlife, gardens, and learn about volunteer opportunities.

We hope our docents will help promote a deeper understanding and appreciation for what we do at Sanctuary One, and to ensure that the care farm visitors have amazing experiences while here. Docents will be key to helping raise public awareness of the unique partnerships between Sanctuary One and our community partners too.

Farewell to Pavarotti-At Sanctuary One, the bonds we form with the animals in our care run deep, creating a profound circle of connection and healing. Among them was Pavarotti, affectionately known as Pav, a spirited Boer goat. Pav arrived at Sanctuary One at the age of 12, a time when many goats like him have already said goodbye. Yet, surrounded by nurturing hands and compassionate hearts, Pav thrived for another eight years, becoming a cherished symbol of resilience and the mutual care that flows between the sanctuary’s animals and its people. He embodied strength with a gentle presence that deeply impacted everyone who knew him. His peaceful demeanor brought a sense of calm and connection to those who cared for him, inspiring perseverance and providing moments of reflection in the serene surroundings of the care farm. For many, his ability to connect with people on such a profound level served as a reminder of the unspoken bond between animals and humans—a bond rooted in trust, healing, and mutual respect. Pavarotti’s legacy, and that of the other animals we've lost, serves as a powerful reminder of the full circle of care that defines Sanctuary One. The animals we nurture also nurture us, teaching compassion, patience, and connection to everyone who walks through our gates—from staff and volunteers to field trip students and visitors. As we continue our important work, we remain committed to honoring this beautiful balance, ensuring that Sanctuary One continues to be a place of healing, growth, and connection for animals, people, and the earth alike. ...

With summer solstice upon us, it's time to harvest lavender! Our intern Marley was very patient with the bees as we collected them into bundles, even cutting around stalked occupied by the little fuzzy guys. We will be donating a big box of lavender bundles to the Teresa McCormick Center this week, along with some tomato plants for those participants who are interested in growing their own 'maters. With 80 tomato plants freshly planted in our Healing & Learning Garden this past week, there will be plenty for all TMC participants this season! ... See MoreSee Less
