A few of our past projects include:

• Creating a medicine garden with Sipayik school children, planting food gardens with the Sipayik youth council, and co-creating food gardens for the Indian Island day care 
• Providing technical and hands-on support to help Indian Township Food Pantry Gardens expand food production with a hoop house
• Hosting a meet and greet with author and biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer at The People’s Garden on Indian Island 
• Providing education in Wabanaki communities about co-operative economies and how they are aligned with Wabanaki ways. 
• In collaboration with the Schoodic Riverkeepers, hosting a 5K History Run in Calais along the river now known as the St. Croix to bring awareness to the connection between our wellness and the health of the river ecosystem.
