Autumn Olive or Russian Olive trees are beautiful, fragrant trees with delicious and nutritious berries. They are also a highly invasive species. They crowd out native plants making the land unusable for other plants, animals and humans.
Defend our beautiful ceremonial native trees and plants (and to give beauty to the land that nourishes us so wonderfully) by joining the Russian Olive Removal Party on the Michigan Ceremonial Land.

Lunch and healthy snacks
We also need people who are willing to help prepare our community meal for the day. If this is what you are interested in doing, please let us know.
For those who will be working outside, I recommend you wear heavy duty long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Autumn Olives have thick sharp thorns that can easily pierce and snag thin clothing.
We will finish our day with a community meal. Let me know if you have any food allergies or intolerances. Bring your favorite beverages for self and sharing!
