Welcome Home!

It’s been a long ten days here at Sanctuary One! The Burnt Peak fire in the Miller Complex has been brought under control. The evacuations for our area have been lifted, and staff has returned to the farm. We still have smoky conditions from other fires burning in the complex, but are happy that the immediate danger seems to have passed.

We will begin moving our herd of rescued animals back to the farm this week. This will be a slow process; as with the evacuation, we are taking time to move all animals slowly and with as little stress as possible. We hope to have all residents back by early next week.

Conditions permitting, we hope to resume public tours on Friday, September 22. Some other events scheduled for September have been rescheduled; please see the Events calendar for details. Staff will be in touch will all ticket-holders for these events. Thanks to everyone for your patience!

Here is a photo our intern Oliven took while some of our field trip 3rd graders from Mae Richardson Elementary were visiting the Healing & Learning Garden. In the photo, we just finished talking about the vegetable garden and the native pollinator plants and were headed to the shade to talk about what reciprocity means to the Earth Care program's unique kind of community garden. Community members like volunteers and service learning groups grow food in the garden, which is in turn donated to food pantries. Community supporting community. Similarly, we also give some of the harvest to our animals who so generously gift us with their fertility-growing manure. To schedule a field trip, click this link: sanctuaryone.org/field-trips/ ...
