Giving Thanks to the Grove

October 2, 2024

Silent Walk + Social Gathering


Join us as we come together as a community once again to show our dedication to protecting the Grove from future development. We will first take a silent walk together to appreciate our beloved old-growth forest and finish with a gathering to discuss next steps, answer questions and celebrate victories.

Our campaign to save the Grove is gaining momentum, and with your support, we are confident that we can stop the development.

As we approach Thanksgiving, this silent walk is an opportunity to reflect on the deep history of the Grove, to reaffirm our dedication to preserving it for future generations and a moment for the Community to come together again and continue to take one step at a time towards a better way!

Let’s keep Growing and ensure that Gillies Grove remains a sanctuary for generations to come.

Together we can find a better way!
