Sacred Space Revitalization - Clean Up the Giving Tree
Hello! My name is Willow and I LOVE the Giving Tree. The space feels like it is sacred - a beautiful and HUGE weeping willow where our lovely community comes to rest, share, and spread PLURR. However, the poor thing gets TRASHED! I am not here to critique the type of gifts people leave, simply an observation that when some stuff gets wet, it turns to garbage. Stickers, tampons, testing kits, etc are all lovely until the rain disintegrates it. There are also discarded wrappers from treats, broken items, etc. If one does a search about the Giving Tree on reddit, you’ll see post after post, year after year, of people begging one another to keep the space trash-free. So I figured, why not do something about it! I’m going to stop by the Giving Tree at least once a day to pick up trash and you can join!
On Thursday at 5pm I’ll be at the Giving Tree with Nitrile gloves and garbage bags. Come grab some and swing by any time throughout the festival to help pick up and keep our space sacred.
This festival is important and part of PLURR is being responsible for the space we occupy. Let’s spread the PLURR to the Giving Tree and to everyone gathered under her beautiful leaves.
Feel free to message me on insta if you need to grab supplies at a different time. You’ll find me at willowforestwitch. You’ll also see me doing tarot readings in the Nest on Saturday afternoon like I did last year.
What counts as trash?
- Paper items destroyed by rain
- Discarded wrappers and other easily identifiable garbage items
- Items that are so broken and/or dirty people won’t grab it
What doesn’t count as trash?
- Kandi and trinkets that you personally don’t care for
- Clothing items (even if they are wet or dirty)
Use your best discretion and when in doubt, leave it be.
See you soon Forest Fam!!! <3 <3
