Nature hikes Gardening and farming Hands‑on project builds STEM All ages 6+ & adults

We're a cooperative skill-sharing group, focused on the outdoors. We tend to meet at local parks, farms, and town lands. Help us to build out our fall schedule by volunteering to offer teach something you know how to do -- or just faciliate at group investigation into a topic!

What we do

  • Explore nature together — hike local trails, notice wildlife, read the landscape.
  • Build useful things — real projects for homes, gardens, and the community.
  • Learn STEM — measure, design, test, and improve as we go.

Who it's for

  • Homeschoolers (ages 6+) and their families
  • Teens & adults who want to learn or share skills
  • Anyone excited about nature, building, and resilience

Example projects

  • Cold frames & hoop houses for winter gardening
  • Rainwater capture & off‑grid water pumps
  • Garden carts & simple outdoor fixtures
  • Temperature monitors for greenhouses & freezers
  • Small‑scale solar power & charging

Have ideas or skills to add? We'd love to hear about them.
