Forest Nursery Opening Blessing

Yesterday was a special day. It was our Forest School's Opening Blessing, where we were joined by neighbours, daycare friends, and families to celebrate and honour this new Program.

Alicia Alphonso, her mom Caroline Clearsky, and her daughter led us in the Blessing. We so are grateful to be learning from and alongside them.


This was also a time of gathering, sharing what's important to us, and listening to what's important to those around us.


We took some space to express gratitude: to Alicia, Caroline, & Novalee, to the Riverview Ashland Child Care Centre team, the Board, volunteers, caregivers, children, the Riverview Garden Society, the land and water, and all the beings who call this Forest their home. Only together can we make something like Forest Nursery School happen.




Thanks, Miigwech, Kinanâskomitin for joining us on this little and big forest journey 🌳💖


A photo of a note that says "My greatest dream for this Forest Nursery is that children get to know the stores of the land here. The movements, patterns and cycles. And then they feel they are part of it."
