The Land

~ Land Acknowledgement ~

Pleasures of Beltane witchcamp will be located within traditional Pomo territory near the town colonially known as Yorkville, CA. We acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Pomo peoples on which our camp will be located. We sit in deep gratitude for this land and we acknowledge our traditional hosts, their past, and the generational traumas they have endured due to colonization and white supremacy. We acknowledge their leaders, past, present and emerging. 

It is our practice to make financial contributions in support of indigenous-led initiatives on the land where PoB takes place each year with camp funds. 

~ Site Accessibility ~

~ Western Pond Turtle ~

The beautiful creek running through this year's site is home to a protected native Californian species, the Western Pond Turtle.   Though not listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act, the Western Pond Turtle is a "species of special concern" in the state of California.   As we get to know our new site, we will treat these precious creatures with the respect they deserve, refraining from entering their waterways and giving them the space they need to live peacefully and fulfill their important ecological roles.
