The Cross-Disciplinary Future of Land Stewardship?
For the past three years, alumna Sarah Klain has been collaborating with the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation to create a land stewardship plan for Boa Ogoi, a 585-acre parcel in southeastern Idaho where the US Army Cavalry and settlers massacred over 400 tribe members in 1863. But, how does one begin to “restore” land in a climate-changed future?
Story of a Spark 💥
We’re sharing “Spark Stories” this month — short anecdotes about important Chewonki mentors and the lessons they imparted — and we couldn’t be more pleased to share these inspiring memories of Endicott “Cotty” Saltonstall (Camp ’52, Camp Staff ’57-’60, ’62-’66, and ’71) from Peter Slovenski. (Camp ’64-’68).
We’re Nearly Full Circle, All Thanks to You
Each of us has had a moment in our lives when someone stepped forward, a teacher, a guide, a counselor, or a friend, and showed us a new path that changed our lives. For Ponch Membreño, (OC Staff ‘91-95, Camp Parent ‘19, and Trustee ‘21), Greg Shute, Director of Northwoods and Coastal Properties, was that person.

Celeriac Root
Here at Chewonki we have many bags of celeriac stored in our root cellar. Celeriac is a cousin of celery but the root is the edible part.
