Our mission is to reconnect people with the natural systems around us.
Our courses are designed to help you build a deeper connection with the natural world! We teach ethnobotany, wild-foraging, herbalism, permaculture, wild-crafting, wildlife track & sign, bird language & behavior, wilderness survival, and much much more. Come join us! Take a look at our upcoming immersion programs and short course to learn more.
Join one of our 9-10 month immersion programs! These courses meet one weekend per month to provide an unrivaled learning experience. Our current open courses include field trips to a variety of environments, as well as skills workshops.
Short courses range in duration from 1 to 5 days and cover a variety of naturalist and wildcrafting topics. If you don't have time to take a full day class, join us for one of our 2 hour naturalist walks where we'll cover everything from plants, birds, mushrooms, tracks and more.

How do our courses build natural connection?
We believe the skills we teach are essential to building resilient communities capable of providing for their own needs. We encourage the stewardship of natural resources to create reciprocal relationships with the rest of the environment, and work hard to make sure that each of our classes is a safe space to learn these skills. Everyone is welcome in the outdoors, and we are here to help you find your place in it!
We would love to hear from you, whether you are interested in taking a class or want to set up a custom program. Use our “Contact” page if you have any questions we can help with answering!
