Meet at the kiosk at the top of the monastery building parking lot. Come for all or part of the workday. \nPlease register by emailing Amy Alstad\, aalstad@holywisdommonastery.org. \n________________________________________ \nWhat if none of the workdays don’t align with my schedule?\nConsider coming for a walk on the trails whenever your availability permits. We could always use your help monitoring trail conditions! \nGoals for our trail monitoring program include: \n\nEarly detection of trail issues\nCollecting data on number of trail users\nDiversifying opportunities for volunteers\n\nProtocol for trail monitoring is simple: \nWalk a section – or two or all – of the Holy Wisdom trails and report what you encounter using a simple online form.

SUMMARY:Women's* Chainsaw Workday
DESCRIPTION:Holy Wisdom Monastery is partnering with Dane County Parks to host another Women’s* Restoration Workday on Thursday\, Nov. 14\, 2024\, from 1:00-3:30 pm! \nWhy a Women’s* Workday? \n*It can often be hard for women\, folks who are non-binary/transgender\, and other gender minorities to feel comfortable using chainsaws and brush cutters in a typical restoration workday environment. These workdays are meant to create space for such folks who would benefit from this event and to build community in Dane County. We welcome any level sawyer and folks interested in equipment operation. Not interested in operating a chainsaw? Perfect! We also need brush haulers and folks interested in using a parsnip predator to go after invasive weeds. \nVolunteers should wear boots or other closed toed shoes\, and dress and be ready to work in most weather conditions. Bring drinking water\, a snack\, and anything else you might need to be comfortable. \nLocation\nHoly Wisdom Monastery\, 4200 County Road M\, Middleton\, WI. Follow signs to park by brown barn. \nRegister\nRegister with the Dane County Parks’ sign-up form by clicking the button below. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Spring Solar Tilt
DESCRIPTION:Be the first to tilt the new solar panels\nHoly Wisdom Monastery is on track to become a fully net-zero energy campus by the end of 2024. \nYou are invited to participate in the Spring Solar Tilt\, a hands-on\, inaugural community event where we gather together to celebrate solar energy\, honor the changing seasons and pray for the earth. \nThe 30-panel array can be tilted vertically or horizontally\, depending on the season.

They must be manually hand-cranked by teams of three people into their flat spring/summer orientation. Individuals and teams from the community and local businesses are invited to be part of the inaugural tilt event as participants or spectators. \nJoin us as one of 90 volunteers who will be the first to tilt Holy Wisdom’s solar panels! Or come watch and join us in prayer for climate change. Register below to let us know you’ll be coming. \nWe will begin in the Monastery Assembly Room at 1:15 pm before going outside to begin the Tilt. In case of heavy rain or storms\, the event will be moved to Monday\, April 22nd. Parking space may be limited\, so bring your friends\, but please carpool if you can. \nWatch below to see how we will be tilting the panels \n \n  \nWait\, there’s more! After the Tilt you can join us for the Wisdom Prairie Spring Tour\, led by Friends of Wisdom Prairie.
