Oak Grove tree Sit Celebrates 500 Days

by tristan
Party for 500 days in the trees.

The Memorial Oak Grove Tree Sit has now been in existence for 500 days. It is the longest running urban tree sit ever. The day began with the weekly 2:00 pm resupply to send food up to the tree sitters. Then we moved into the grove itself for an event. We had a nice party in the sun with a bunch of friendly tree lovers. There was free food and music and poetry, art and dancing. The highlight was a performance by Circus Pandemonium.

Remember; feel free to stop by the Grove at any time.
