Trees, wood and material culture
Another of our essential practices is forestry and small scale green woodworking. Throughout history it has been vital to be able to turn trees into useful objects, tools, containers, implements, and buildings. We perpetuate these living traditions to repair what we have and make new objects. it is essential to us to show apprentices how to select, harvest, safely fell, and move trees, how to hew, rive and split green stock in to all the components needed to construct the material world.
