UNC Asheville’s 45-acre urban forest has been a cherished community resource and wildlife habitat for decades. It’s now under threat of development, despite its status as one of the last remaining urban forests in Asheville.

There are a variety of actions you can take to help save the woods. Check out saveuncawoods.org for more information on how to get involved

Sunday, March 16th, we will gather at 3 pm sharp to sing for (and to) The Trees! This will be a space to be share in deep reverence for the forest, to feel what’s in alive in our hearts, to honor and praise the wild through song as well as to learn about the forest, what’s going on there, and actions we can take to help protect this special place.

Lillie Lumina, seasoned song-leader, singer-songwriter, and music-therapist will guide the group in singing a variety of nature-based songs. The songs are easy to learn and sing along, with phrases that repeat many times, like mantras for the mamma . You are also more than welcome to bring songs to teach the group.

All voices welcome!
Free of charge
