About This Event
Join Daily Acts, LandPaths, and Hybrid Indigenous Stewardship for a special opportunity to learn about what it means to be in right relationship with the land and the ecological systems that sustain us.
Guided by Dillon Williams, co-founder of Hybrid Indigenous Stewardship, this experience invites us into the Petaluma hills to learn about Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), native plants, and the relationships between people, water, soil, plants, and place.
Through a guided hike and conversation at Lafferty Ranch, Dillon will share knowledge about native plant species, traditional practices, and the ways these relationships can help us understand and care for our shared landscapes. We’ll explore how generations of Indigenous stewardship have shaped and sustained local ecosystems, while also reflecting on the impacts of extraction, displacement, and harmful land-use practices that have disrupted these relationships.
Together, we’ll consider what it means to move toward greater reciprocity and responsibility with the land, and how we can carry what we learn into our own communities and daily lives.
Topics We'll Explore
- Traditional Ecological Knowledge and place-based stewardship
- Native plants and their ecological and cultural significance
- Bay nut collection, oaks, native grasses and other beneficial species
- Water resilience and our relationship to local watersheds
This FREE community event is an invitation to learn directly from a practitioner, spend time on the land, and deepen our understanding of the living systems around us.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: Because this program includes walking over uneven ground, portions of the experience may not be accessible to everyone. If you have accessibility questions or would like to talk through accommodations, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Whether you’re new to Traditional Ecological Knowledge, or have been exploring these practices for years, you're welcome here. Come ready to walk, listen, learn, and connect with community. We look forward to spending time with you in the hills!
*Address shared upon registration!
